Per diem nursing or allied health positions offer unmatched flexibility, allowing you to work on your own terms while earning excellent compensation. As a “gig” healthcare worker, per diem, employees have the opportunity to enjoy an excellent work-life balance, gain valuable experience, and explore new places. While per diem literally means “by the day,” this work option is not just about working single shifts. Today’s per diem nurses can choose their shifts and schedules, and how long they are committed to one job or facility.
There are several reasons to work Per Diem Shifts as reviewed below.
Location
