Translated, per diem, means “by the day” and translated means “allowance or payment for each day”. In the healthcare industry per diem opportunities are when a nurse or allied health professional is needed day by day.

What Per Diem Opportunities Do You Offer?
At PRN Healthcare, the majority of our per diem nurses and allied health professionals work within long-term care facilities in WI, IL, IA, and CO. We do have per diem needs in our hospital settings in WI, IL, Michigan City, and MO. However, the frequency of needs is less and differs depending on the area. Currently, there are over 90 facilities in WI and over 70 in Illinois! We work with these facilities to assist with their staffing shortages, whether predicted or last-minute openings.
A per diem nurse or allied professional is brought on board to assist with these shortages. They are expected to work a minimum of four shifts per month. This can be any four days, with no requirements for weekends or holidays. Every employee keeps a calendar of availability online letting our schedulers know exactly which shift, and what days they are available to work. As our facilities send us openings, we are simultaneously reaching out to our active healthcare workers to fill the needs. Besides last-minute daily openings, facilities give their needs to PRN Healthcare anywhere from 2-8 weeks ahead of time. This helps us to solidify schedules for our nurses and allied health professionals in advance. From all nursing specialties, per diem nurses can work a minimum of four shifts per month (supplemental income on their days off), part-time, or can elect to work on a full-time basis for PRN Healthcare.
Why Per Diem?
Per diem opportunities are the perfect way to balance your career and personal life. If you’re looking for flexibility in your schedule– per diem nursing is the ticket for you! Per diem also is a great opportunity to supplement your income. Some medical professionals work their normal job and pick up shifts on the side whereas others only work per diem. It is up to you how you want per diem to enrich your life.
What benefits do you get working Per Diem?
We understand that receiving benefits is also an important aspect of a job. We offer insurance and benefits to per diem employees. You must maintain our full-time status which is 30+ hours/week to receive this benefit. We offer health, dental, and vision insurance as well as a great 401k plan.
