Medely partner Leah Coaxum, BSN, RN, explains her top three tips on getting started as a per diem nurse. Leah switched to per diem nursing over two years ago, and she loves to share with other nurses how achieving and managing one's own work-life balance is possible.
Tip #1: Define your goals. Figure out what you want to gain from per diem nursing both financially and personally.
Tip #2: Set yourself up for success. Take the necessary steps to make sure your switch is seamless by updating your resume and work history, deciding what specialties you want to focus on, and more.
Tip #3: Leverage technology. Use a tech solution like Medely to find shifts faster instead of relying on staffing agencies that decide where you can pick up shifts and when.
