Agreements governing the temporary employment of registered nurses within the state, stipulate the terms of service, compensation, and responsibilities. These arrangements define the legal obligations between the nurse, the staffing agency (if applicable), and the healthcare facility. A common element includes clauses outlining the duration of the assignment, hourly wages, benefits packages (including housing stipends), and cancellation policies.
These professional arrangements address workforce shortages, ensure consistent staffing levels in healthcare institutions, and offer nurses geographical flexibility and diverse experience across different clinical settings. Historically, the demand for these flexible staffing solutions has fluctuated, particularly in response to seasonal population changes, public health crises, and evolving healthcare needs within the state.
