Going through the roof
Article Abstract:
UK Health Secretary Alan Milburn has released a list of the first nurse consultant posts to be funded within the National Health Service. In the first wave of appointments, 141 nurses will achieve consultant status, receiving a salary of between 27,460 pounds sterling and 42,010 pounds sterling a year. It is intended that the creation of nurse consultant posts will enhance the career prospects of nurses who wish to remain in clinical practice. Those seeking a nurse consultant post will have to demonstrate ability in education, training and development; expert practice; practice and service development, research and evaluation; and professional leadership and consultancy.
