Rhonda…So glad for your comments and insight. From the time I read your “Day in the Life” article, I knew you could relate to what I’m sharing with my blog.

I appreciate you sharing your rate history/experience. What other factors contribute to your ability to get your rate, both at the higher range and then at the lower range? For example was the geographic region of the work location a factor? Are you a licensed clinician? Do you have any EMR / EHR Certifications?

What type of advice can you provide regarding how you negociate with recruiters to garner the higher rate range?

Thanks!

Shirley,

Thank you so much for sharing your expertise on market worth in such an entertaining and useful way! There is no other job site offering this type of excellent information and advice.

As an EMR Implementation Specialist with an IT Background , the consultant rates I get are just slightly higher ($10-$20) than what you have listed since I do have the training, analyst and testing background, being able to offer the full lifecycle knowledge has definitely added to my market worth.

That said, I have also worked in the range you mentioned (or sometimes slightly below) when expanding my skill set on a new EMR system or area.
