BobSaget Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I'm curious but how easy is it to pick up per diem shifts at a local hospital or locums for a new grad? I was planning to work full time in FM or IM and pick up shifts on the side once I graduate. Thoughts? Is the ED the only option I have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaget Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Urgent care - very easy to pick up prn. What kind of shifts are usually available? Do most UC clinics require work on Sundays if I worked full time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterallsummer Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Prn UC they may want 1-4+ shifts a month and will probably ask you to work an occasional weekend. Most UC are 9-9 m to f and same or 9-5 on weekends. Anywhere you work, if they are open weekends, you will be expected to work some weekends. If you work in FM m to f, then it seems to me the only days you could work prn would be weekends. EM and hospitals are unlikely to allow prn from a new grad without a full time job in that field. Exceptions may be if you are able to find prn in ER eg fast track, or prn doing admissions for a hospitalist group. These gigs are not that easy to come by. However UC prn shifts and also FM and occ med prn shifts are relatively easy to find. Of course depends on your location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcreid2 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I am a recent grad and work full time in ortho during the week. I just picked up prn clinic time in urgent care. I am required to work 3-4 shifts per month. I plan to work 3 weekend shifts during the month. Hours are 8am-8pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
