Hospital liaison nurse

[sweetstrwbrry1]

I had an interview yesterday for hospital/clinical liaison nurse. It will be a salary position. I would be at 3 hospitals, 1-2 a day and visit patients who were referred to my hospice, do admissions papers, talk to families, etc. I'm excited about this because I love the autonomy of it and doing something different everyday! I was wondering if any one had any experience doing this and how they liked it? Also I am wondering what salary would be appropriate as I currently make 50K as a bedside nurse. But I would like to ensure the salary makes up for the differentials that I would be missing out on. I never do overtime so no issue there. Looking to hear what others' experiences are! :)

I did this as a temp for about six months and loved it. It was great seeing the relief in pt and family eyes when they learned what we could do.

There was also, for me, an expectation that I would teach lunch-and-learns to the staff about hospice, what it is and isn't, regulations, and such, so they would be more likely to look kindly upon it as an alternative. I had a pizza budget. :)
