Per Diem Tips
- •Clarify minimum-shift commitments and cancellation policies up front
- •Maintain your own malpractice coverage if not facility-provided
- •Track credentialing paperwork, since each facility onboards separately
- •Stack per-diem shifts across two or three facilities for steadier volume
- •Confirm whether holiday and weekend differentials apply
Why Per Diem?
Pick up shifts that fit your schedule with no fixed weekly commitment.
Per-diem pay is hourly and usually excludes benefits. Weigh the posted rate against the coverage you fund yourself.
Rotate across facilities and care settings while keeping your primary role or practice.
