Your Keys to Success in 2024
For Integrated Healthcare Staffing Employees
What we experienced during COVID was unprecedented. Facilities did what it took. Per diem clinicians, especially RNs, LPNs, and CNAs, worked hard and were in high demand with commensurate compensation.
Since then, things have changed. This report highlights the current state of per diem healthcare staffing in 2024. This is what it takes to thrive.
As the market changes, Integrated Healthcare Staffing is utilizing our experience to shape our playbook.
Our goal: Help our team retain the flexibility they love at the level of work they desire.

Here are the four keys to your success in 2024:

Always provide a reliable, exceptional experience. Be a clinician facilities ask for by name.

Be ready and willing to work on short notice. Facilities often turn to staffing partners for help with these shifts.
Key #3 - Be Agile
If your shift is canceled, be ready to work somewhere else when you're redirected to a new opportunity. Integrated works hard to backfill shifts!
Key #4 - Be Prepared
Because few shifts carry bonuses, build your schedule accordingly to achieve your financial goals.
