I might consider per diem once I'm married and can get benefits through my husband....flexible schedule AND more pay?! Not having guaranteed hours would make me uncomfortable though. I could totally relate when you were eating cookies while contemplating what you wanted to eat...that's like me everyday, eating while trying to figure out what the heck I want to eat!!
Yea, you’d have to have money saved just in case you don’t get enough hours to pay off bills. And about the eating LOL I am always thinking about my next meal 😌
My job offered me a fixed schedule per diem because I’m going back to school and child care problems. Happy to have a job that like working full time but can change anytime I want off ❤
hey girl! new subscriber here and fellow healthcare youtuber!!! Also, I have been dabbling in per diem nursing and I also still have a full time position as well but this was very informational and helpful!!!! loved it! Good to see another nurse out here grinding and creating content!!!
PACU PRN is amazing, looove it, wanna do it forever! I’m also working Acute Dialysis just On Call 3-4 times a week which I like as well just not as much as PACU.
Per diem in med surg - love it. Should have done it years ago.
Right?! It’s amazing! How many days out of the month do you give of availability?

PACU seems very interesting! Did you have ICU experience prior to PACU?
@@LifeAsWendyRN no I had IMU(Intermmediate Care Unit) expirience 3:1 ratio and that counted as critical care like ER/ ICU prior to applying for PACU.
Anybody work per diem as well? Let me know which specialty you work in and if you’re enjoying it 😉
Hi, new nurse here. A little info about how you get your interpreter certificate please? I really want to have that. Thank you
It was through my employer. They set it up.
Is there a difference between per diem and PRN?
No, it’s used interchangeably. Per diem, prn, casual... same thing
What unit do you work as per diem?
Preadmission testing
Do you get health insurance as per diem nurse? If not, do you apply for independent insurance? Thanks
No, I buy my own insurance
So fun! I work full time ophthalmology in Hawaii . Hopefully one day I can go prn
PRN is so flexible! What type of work do you do as an ophthalmology nurse?
Are new grad nurses able to take per-diem jobs? Thank you very much.
From what I’ve seen, per diem nurses are usually experienced but that doesn’t mean there aren’t exceptions.
I am a new grad and was offered a per diem position. But orientation will be full time
@@rosanellesblessedlife1786 I had to do orientation full time too. That’s awesome that you got a per diem! The flexibility is sooo nice
