Vice President of Customer Experience (in medtech) – Chad Rains

This week on the podcast we have Chad Rains, RN, BSN, MBA. He is the Vice President of Customer Experience at a medical device/medtech company based out of California.

I am really excited about this episode because it shows you how far you can take your nursing degree. Not every job that is well suited for nurses, requires a nursing degree. However, your nursing degree is what will set you apart from your competition. And today’s episode with Chad demonstrates that.
But before we dive in, Chad tells us about his journey into nursing. He started out as a medical assistant in an orthopedic clinic and worked his way up. And when I say WORKED, I mean it. He worked nights and weekends cleaning carpets so that he could go to clinics and finish his nursing degree.

Chad talks about building your network as a nurse. He talks specifically about the medical device industry and how uniquely nurses are positioned to compete and work in this field.
His path into nursing was not an easy one. It took determination and perseverance. And his story is such an inspiration!
