Permanent placements allow the healthcare facility to directly hire a full-time or part-time nurse. It can be a great option if the facility has a consistent staffing need and the nurse is committed to staying in the same location over the long term. With this type of contract, the healthcare facility will typically use a placement agency to find a nurse for a predetermined fee, often a percentage of the nurse’s annual salary.
Temp-to-perm contracts allow the facilities to decide whether they want to ultimately hire the nurse full-time. It’s a great way for a nurse to find the stability in their career if they like the geographic location and the environment and the perks associated with it.
Per diem (meaning “per day”) staffing is a type of placement where a nurse is essentially on-call. The nurse is not guaranteed hours, and the contract can range from a single day to several weeks.
Most healthcare facilities place per diem nurses when there is a last-minute shift cancellation or immediate demand. With this type of placement, there is plenty of flexibility.
Pro re nata (meaning “as needed”) staffing is somewhat less flexible than per diem. PRN staffing is to meet specific staffing stipulations, such as working weekends or specific holidays.
Contract Staffing is a best solution for facilities with long-term staffing shortages. These can be caused by a number of factors including leaves of absence, system-wide training etc.
Travel nurses are assigned to different geographic areas to fill employment gaps. They typically work on short-term contracts that may last a few weeks or longer. Travel nurse contracts are often done on a case-by-case basis
