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.
