Spotlight on Per Diem Nursing Part 1
Per diem nursing offers unique flexibility and top pay. Nurses can pick up per diem shifts when and where they want on a full or part-time basis. Per diem nursing is helpful to hospitals that find themselves short-staffed on a particular day. For nurses, per diem offers a unique employment opportunity . Some nurses work exclusively in per diem nursing, which affords them a great pay rate along with the flexibility of working only on days they feel like working. Other nurses take per diem shifts to supplement their existing income. With per diem, a nurse can work on their day off and earn up to $500 for one shift. Do that once a month and you have a new car payment taken care of.
Today, we are focusing on Per Diem nursing in Orange County and Los Angeles and we are talking to Chris Harris, a Per Diem scheduler for Access Nurses.
Q: Chris, what is the main benefit of working per diem?
A: Work when and where you want! You can choose to take shifts for extra holiday pay, as a regular supplement to your income or you can do it full-time and pick your schedule every week. There are really two main reasons; you can make good money and, of course, the flexibility.
Q: With holidays coming up are more nurses looking for per diem nursing?
A: The hospital needs in the flu season tend to increase, and it works out great for nurses looking to help pay for their holiday shopping. Those presents add up and a shift or two here and there can help pay it off.
Q: What are the opportunities like in Orange County and Los Angeles?
A: There are a lot of hospitals in the area, for example a nurse in Fountain Valley can probably get to about 20 hospitals in 20 minutes. The amount of hospitals in this area makes it that much more convenient to work per diem.
Q: Are there opportunities for nurses who do not live in Orange County or Los Angeles?
A: Of course, we offer per diem opportunities in many different locales. In some areas, per diem needs are so great that we offer short term travel assignments in which nurses are contracted to work per diem shifts.
Q: If a nurse is interested in a per diem job or wants more information, what should they do?
A: Call us, that's what we're for! Our schedulers are available at anytime to answer your questions. You can reach us at 888-346-8773.
