pay rate

That can be a little hard to answer as a lot goes into that. Adjunct clinical instructors in my area tend to make about $5-8K per class. Meaning, if you have a 12 hour medsurg clinical with 10 students that meets weekly for a full semester you should expect around the upper end of that, maybe even more. I have even seen some subjects pay more (such as mental health) due to the lack of people.

Fulltime faculty in my area make between $60-75K on a 9 month contract with a masters. A PhD tends to make $100k ish on a 9 month but, they also have research requirements as well. --- Hope this gives you somewhat of a starting point.

I used to make about 2800/semester to supervise NP clinical rotations. I honestly didn't do a thing but go to their training site once and ask if they were showing up and behaving.

A friend of mine did a Chamberlain contract and it was equivalent to making $50/hr but grading was including in the compensation. She did her grading at home, and she told me it took 6-8 hours per week to grade the students' assignments. She also told me some instructors graded at the clinical site so that grading time was not spent on their days off.
