Our practice is to have per diem floats train and become proficient at the inpatient level of care before assisting with coverage in the residential and partial programs, as this ensures a consistent foundation and supports safe, effective coverage across settings.
This is an ideal role for developing clinical expertise through diverse diagnostic exposure and experience across hospital units. While this position is classified as per diem, we anticipate offering up to 40 hours per week to support increased coverage needs during the summer months, driven by a higher volume of vacation requests.
