What is a Concierge Nurse?

A concierge nurse provides private, personalized nursing care directly to clients — typically in their home, hotel, or post-op recovery location.

It’s NOT home health
It’s private-pay, meaning YOU set your rates and you’re not controlled by insurance companies.

You work for the patient — not the hospital.

Services You Can Offer

Your services depend on:
✔ Your license type
✔ Your state’s nursing scope
✔ Your ideal client

Examples include:

  • Post-op recovery care

  • IV hydration & wellness

  • Care coordination + navigation

  • Medication management

  • Medical advocacy

  • Transitional care

  • VIP or travel nursing support

You can start with one service and grow from there.

Who Can Become A Concierge Nurse?

Short answer: Most nurses can — as long as you operate within your scope.

RN ✔ Yes

LPN/LVN ✔ Yes, with scope + collaboration based on state

APRN ✔ Yes, broader services including medical treatments

If you’re a nurse… you have skills people will pay for.

Concierge Nurse Income Potential

Income depends on:

  • Location

  • Niches

  • Pricing strategy

  • How many clients you take on

But here’s what’s possible:
$75–$250 per hour
$650–$1,800 per day (post-op packages)
$8K–$20K+ per month once established

Your skills are high value — you deserve to be paid accordingly.

Pros and Cons of Concierge Nursing

Pros
✔ More autonomy
✔ Better work-life balance
✔ Higher earning potential
✔ More meaningful patient relationships

Cons
➖ You’re the business owner
➖ Startup costs (modest but real)
➖ You must market yourself

But those “cons” are also where your freedom lives.

Do You Need Malpractice Insurance?

Yes. Absolutely.
Even if services are basic.

It’s protective — and very affordable for solo nurses.

Pricing: What Should You Charge?

Pricing depends on:

  • Market demand

  • Cost of living

  • Your level of expertise

  • Service intensity

Most nurses undervalue themselves — don’t.
We’ll build a price that honors your time, energy, and expertise.

Getting Your First Concierge Nurse Client

Start with:

  • Surgeons + post-op centers

  • Medical spas

  • Private practice clinics

  • Case managers & patient advocates

  • Word of mouth + networking

Don’t overthink it — relationships drive referrals.
