What this means for you

MaineHealth is hiring for its own floors — no agency between you and the manager. The posted pay pencils out to roughly $71k–$97k a year, and there's a sign-on bonus on top. Per-diem means you set the rhythm — pick up when it works, step back when it doesn't.

  • Can you walk me through the base pay range, differentials, and sign-on bonus repayment terms?

  • What preceptor time and ongoing unit support are included?
  • How are patient load, floating, and staffing support handled day to day?
