Revenue in the US per diem nurse staffing is forecast to contract 5% this year for total revenue of $3.5 billion, but it’s expected to grow by 5% in 2021, according to SIA’s “US Staffing Industry Forecast.”

Per diem nurse staffing is also this week’s Staffing Word of the Week. SIA’s free, online Lexicon defines per diem nurse staffing as:

Staffing of nurses (registered nurses, licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses, and nursing assistants) on assignments of less than four weeks, which typically does not involve relocation.

Per diem nurse staffing will also be one of the subjects discussed at the upcoming 18^th annual Healthcare Staffing Summit on Oct. 27 and 28. This year’s event is virtual.
