Earn Extra Cash for the Holidays
The holiday season is just around the corner! That means getting the Thanksgiving turkey ready, decorating your home and spending time with loved ones. It also means fantastic opportunities for making some extra cash by signing up to work as a travel, earning power or per diem nurse.
The winter months are always the busiest time for hospitals and healthcare facilities and with the added stress of the holidays, nurses are in even higher demand this time of year.
Take advantage of the festive season to advance your career and make some extra money! Hospitals across the country offer signing bonuses to nurses who start an assignment before the holidays. The bonuses range, so ask your recruiter about current prospects so you can begin your holiday travel assignment.
Don’t be discouraged if you can’t commit to a 13-week assignment, our earning power program allows nurses to work when and where they want, with all the benefits of a traveling nurse lifestyle during the holidays. You’ll get to travel to the city of your dreams, while enjoying a flexible and profitable work schedule.
Are you currently working in Arizona or California and want to pick up an extra shift? Per diem shifts are the perfect alternative if you’re unable to sign on to an extended assignment. Current travelers especially can reap the benefits of per diem nursing. Choose which days you want to work during the season and receive amazing perks, including holiday pay (sometimes double-pay), special bonuses and same-day pay.

First Time with Per Diem
Are there any travelers out there who regularly work per diem shifts on their days off? I've never worked per diem before, but I think it sounds like a great way to make some extra money (especially with the holidays coming up). Can anyone offer any advice about working per diem?
