Our ultimate goal is to help organizations deliver high quality, cost-effective patient care by shaping exceptional nursing teams one leader at a time. Our interim nurse leaders are prepared to “hit the ground running” and provide value-added services from day one. They are adept at implementing difficult changes and assisting organizations prepare for a new leader. They typically remain on board until a project is completed, or a permanent placement is hired. They assist in orienting the permanent placement, or they can play a vital role in developing and coaching internal candidates for permanent placement.

- Our fee for placing an interim nurse leader is typically $10,000 to $12,000 per quarter, paid at the beginning of each quarter.
