More about Per Diem Staffing Systems, Inc.

The agency places registered nurses in a variety of clinical settings, including high-acuity units such as Labor & Delivery, Medical-Telemetry, and Intensive Care at prominent Northern and Southern California facilities such as Kaiser Irvine and Stanford Hospital. The agency operates both a per diem/registry model—where nurses commit to a minimum number of shifts per week—and a travel contract model offering 13-week assignments with weekly pay. Based on the job postings, Per Diem Staffing Systems targets experienced RNs, typically requiring 3 or more years of recent specialty experience, and places them in demanding clinical environments with rigorous onboarding requirements such as competency exams and multi-day unit orientations. The agency appears to function as an intermediary between nurses seeking flexible or travel assignments and major hospital systems needing supplemental staffing.

What to consider

The good

  • Competitive per diem pay rates, e.g. $76.00/hour for Labor & Delivery with overtime after 8 hours in a day
  • Weekly pay for travel contract assignments
  • Variety of clinical specialties available including L&D, Med/Tele, and ICU
  • Flexible per diem model with minimum of 1 shift per week availability requirement
  • Opportunities to work at prestigious hospital systems such as Stanford and Kaiser
  • Both short-term registry and 13-week contract options offered

The hard parts

  • Strict experience requirements—typically 3+ years of recent specialty experience required
  • Traveler status requires living 60+ miles from the assigned facility, limiting local candidates
  • Mandatory competency exams (e.g. EKG exam with 85% or higher passing score for Med/Tele)
  • Orientation must be completed within a tight 2-week window across multiple unit sessions
  • Pay for Stanford contracts is tiered by experience rather than standardized
