Per Diem vs Full-Time: What's Right for You?

Per Diem Benefits

Higher hourly rates, complete schedule flexibility, no mandatory overtime, and the ability to work at multiple facilities. Ideal for those who value autonomy.

Considerations

Per diem typically means no benefits (health insurance, PTO, retirement). You'll need to plan for taxes, insurance, and irregular income.

Who It's Best For

PMHNPs who have benefits through a spouse, those semi-retired, parents wanting flexible schedules, or those testing different practice settings.

Getting Started

Many per diem positions require at least 1 year of experience. Start by registering with staffing agencies and local hospitals' PRN pools.
