Taking Advantage of the Benefits of Locum Tenens

Taking Advantage of the Benefits of Locum Tenens

For some CRNAs, finding a permanent position in a hospital or ASC is a great fit. They may be looking for the consistency in a steady routine, a familiar workplace, and a fixed location. But for CRNAs looking for more flexibility, earning potential, and work-life balance, locum tenens positions offer excellent opportunities.

Advantages of locum tenens:

Varied experiences:

Locum tenens assignments are temporary and vary in length. If you are interested in testing out a new work environment, assignment, or location, a locum position allows you to do so without risk. If you like it, you may be able to transition into a permanent contract or pursue a similar career path at a different facility. If you don’t, you can move on after your assignment is complete.

Improved work-life balance:

The flexibility of locum tenens means you have more control over how and where you spend your time. You can opt for short or long assignments and take breaks in between. This adaptable schedule is appealing to CRNAs who want to spend periods of time with family or friends, traveling, or pursuing other interests.

Opportunities to travel:

Locum positions are available throughout the country. You can take a temporary assignment in a place you are interested in, whether it’s a big city, a rural area, or a small town.

Higher pay:

One of the most attractive selling points of locum tenens is the potential to earn higher pay than in a permanent position, especially for providers — like CRNAs — in specialties experiencing high demand and staffing shortages.

When you do the math, it’s clear that locum tenens offers many advantages and shouldn’t be overlooked.
