Your questions about per diem (PRN) jobs, answered
- Does per diem pay more than a staff job?
Per hour, usually yes. The rate is higher because the hours aren't guaranteed and the line usually carries no benefits. Across a year, what you make depends on that rate and on how many shifts you pick up.
- Is there a minimum number of shifts on a per diem job?
Many employers set one: a number of shifts a month, plus a share of holidays or weekends. It's called a commitment, and it's in the posting or the offer letter.
- Do per diem jobs include health insurance?
- Can I work per diem for more than one employer?
Yes. Your license or certification travels with you inside the state. What limits you is the paperwork: most contracts ask you to disclose outside work, and each employer's commitment has to fit around the others.
- Which roles use per diem staff?
The ones where staffing follows patient volume day to day. Nursing, respiratory therapy, imaging, and home care all staff this way, and hospitals keep standing pools for it.
