What do you see as the biggest benefits and challenges of gig nursing (short-term shifts via apps)? If you've tried it, how did it work for you, and what improvements would you suggest?


January 1st, 2025

I have been working as a PRN nurse for about a year. Although it is really nice to decide your own schedule including having off today (1/1/25), there are also drawbacks to doing gig type work. Doing this type of work, I don't feel I have the proficiency and the support that gives me the confidence/ability to do a better job. I just accepted an offer yesterday to work a fixed hour job again and looking forward to being part of a consistent team.
