LTC Nurse Consultant

[sheneeg]

I have been thinking about taking a nurse consultant job to the Polaris Group. I have professional acquaintance that have worked for them so I know the basics of travel and overall job duties. I want to see if anyone here has worked as a consultant and knows what salary range I should ask for. I don't wasn't to cut myself short, but I don't was to go too high.

I have been an RN for 13 years with acute and long term care experience. I was in the DON role for 9 years. I currently work for a LTC pharmacy and educated LTC nurses in a tri-state area. I am used to travel and working in multi-locations. I just am not sure wat to ask for as far as pay, but the acquaintances I have are professional and I would feel it's inappropriate to ask what the made in the position. If anyone has been a consultant and has a range that would be helpful.

I worked as a LTC consultant for 1 year. My pay was about equal to what the DONs were making at that organization. The job had a salary range, and I negotiated to be at the top of the range, based on what my previous jobs paid.

Would this be similar to nurse concierge or private duty nurse manager type roles?
