FAQ
Per Diem PMHNP Questions
What is a per diem PMHNP?
A per diem PMHNP works on an as-needed basis, picking up shifts at healthcare facilities without a fixed schedule or long-term commitment. Per diem means "per day" — you get paid for each day you work, typically at higher hourly rates than permanent staff.
How much do per diem PMHNPs earn?
Per diem PMHNPs earn $80-$120+ per hour, which is 15-30% higher than permanent staff rates. Premium shifts (nights, weekends, holidays) can pay $100-$150/hour. Annual income varies based on shifts worked.
What's the difference between per diem and PRN?
Per diem and PRN (pro re nata, meaning "as needed") are often used interchangeably. Both refer to on-call, shift-based work without guaranteed hours. Some facilities distinguish them — per diem may have minimum shift requirements while PRN is truly as-needed.
Do per diem PMHNPs get benefits?
Most per diem positions do not include benefits like health insurance or PTO, which is why hourly rates are higher. Some hospital systems offer limited benefits (401k, employee discounts) to per diem staff who work a minimum number of shifts per month.
Can I work per diem at multiple facilities?
Yes — many per diem PMHNPs are credentialed at 2-4 facilities simultaneously. This maximizes shift availability and income flexibility. Check non-compete clauses and ensure each facility provides or accepts your malpractice coverage.
