California Per Diem information

Published

Specializes in Med-Surg.

Hello my fellow nurses,

I am currently an RN in Georgia and I am interested in getting a PRN job in California. I am asking any California nurses out there about the all the details:

1. Per Diem Rates and applicable differentials

2. How many required shifts per month

3. Is overtime allowed

4. Location, location, location!!

If you choose to respond and have any other details that you feel could be beneficial, please share! I look forward to hearing from any and everyone.

Every hospital has its own per diem policy.

Recently, (a few months ago?) a nurse asked about moving to California. There were a lot of good comments. Maybe you can find it using the search feature.

Hi,

I just got hired at a smaller local hospital in the Bay Area for per diem, my requirements are 5 available shifts per 28 days. My offer is above $95/hr without differentials. Their per diem rate is $88-111/hr. I have approx 6 years experience, 5 in acute care. Weekend I believe is 4% of hourly, after 3pm (evening differential) is $6.25 or $6.95/hr (I forgot), and nights is $11/hr. Overtime is allowed but depends on if the needs.

I just finished working at Cedars-Sinai in LA, my coworkers informed me that right now they are offering a $7500 sign on bonus with employee referrals. My pay there was $57/hr as staff with benefits, you have the option to work 1.0 where you work an extra shift (instead of 3 12's, it's 3, 3, 3, 4) and the entire extra shift is 1.5 pay. I'm not sure if night diff was $9 or $10, but I know weekends is $5/hr.

Please let me know if you are interested in signing on as a staff RN at Cedars or know anyone, please send them my way ?

I hope this helps!
