What are you going to be consulting for? The title is very broad, and can vary greatly as to what repsonsiblities will be as well as the type of work.

So salary can also vary widely.

You would be assessing staff injuries, ergonomics and educating staff on different type of lifters. Mainly in the realm of workers compensation. The goal is to change the culture from manual lifting to electrical lifters.

Are you getting paid by the facility, an outside company that supplies the lifters, or the state?

Experience and degree that you have? There is so much to be included into trying to come up with a rate.

The lifter company, has a clinical component that hires consultants to do the training. The consultants go to wherever the lifters have been purchased, hospitals and or longterm care facilities.

I have a BSN in Nursing for 22 years. Have worked Cardiac and Neuro ICU, Hemodialysis, Investigational Drug Research, OB/GYN. The past 15 years, I have been in LTC. 1 yr charge nurse, 4 years ADON and 10 years Staff Development. In Staff Development I am responsible for orienting new employees, staff training and annual inserviceing,Workers Compensation, OSHA, as well as Infection Control Nurse and Safety Chairperson.

I am also familiar with the product because I have worked with it a several facilities and know it is a great product.
