From Nurse to Oncology Sales: Catina Pitzen's Journey
What does it take to go from bedside nurse to top oncology sales rep? In this episode of Medical Sales U, I sit down with Catina Pitzen, Senior Oncology Sales Representative at Eisai and board member of the Columbus chapter of the Oncology Nursing Society.
Catina shares how her nursing roots—especially her love for labor and delivery—prepared her for success in one of the most complex areas of pharmaceutical sales.
We discuss the realities of breaking into oncology, the power of pre-call planning, and how her commitment to lifelong learning shapes her approach. Whether you're a nurse considering a new career or a sales professional exploring oncology, Catina’s story is a powerful reminder that clinical experience and curiosity can open doors in medical sales.
