Career advice- Nursing to Consulting

Hi,

I am a registered nurse with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Master of Science in Nursing, and will be starting my PhD this year. Currently I work in a hospital setting as a nurse but I was to transition into healthcare or strategic management consulting. Does anyone have any advice on how I can go about this process?

Thank you.
