locums

Any FM locums docs out there willing to DM me or share their experiences here? I’m about to retire from AF next year. Kids are out of the house, and wife (and cat) supportive of following me around. Looking to work 6-9 mons/year supplemented by military pension. Will be working over the next...

Hello, There is a per diem job in NH advertised by NAPA and some locum agencies. I was wondering if it is better to contact them directly and negotiate the rate/contract vs using any locum company to represent me. I am not worried about a buyout - I won't consider working for NAPA full time. I...

Hi! I was recently talking to a couple of friends who are pursuing fellowship (PICU and PCards to be specific) and mentioned they've started taking some locums gigs at urgent care clinics during their off days while the other took up telehealth, both in their respective states. Has anyone had...

Hey guys. I need some advice from NP locums who work ICU, specifically nights. I am recruiting for a night NP icu position at a small hospital. The hospital is 70 total beds, 12 ICU beds. Some of the icu patients are intubated and on pressors but majority are on insulin drips, Bipap, dilt drips...

I work full time in a hospital in the Midwest however for family reasons I have to move to the Bay Area. I was considering locums for a starter for flexibility and to learn more about the area/market. I was wondering what would be the average rate and how to reach out to hospital groups (I would...

Hi all, I'm in the infancy stages of starting a locum tenes company. I'm currently an administrator that has partnered with a pulmonologist to begin this company. I'm curious if there are other young ambitious physicians interested in being a part of this business? I'm happy to share more...

Everyone hates me! No seriously, no one likes being called by a locum tenens recruiter. I asked this question on another thread, but I'm trying to take a different approach to the industry by asking first hand students, graduates, and tenured psychiatrists on here. Unfortunately my job is...

Hi all - I'm wondering if any of you do locums on the side in order to get 1099 income and associated tax benefits (writing things off a business expenses, contributing to 401K beyond your W2 job, etc). I have a decent W2 job but they give limited opportunity for overtime and of course I'm...

I am thinking of quitting and doing locums for a bit, mainly for scheduling reasons. I keep seeing posts that locums rates are declining. Would anyone care to elaborate? Veers? Emergent? Bueller?

Good morning, I represent different clients nationwide. If you are interested in customizing your schedule and life I would love to talk more. Whether looking for sporadic coverage, part time work, or fulltime work we have it all. Most jobs cover travel and lodging as well. Wanting to travel...

When reading discussions on here it seems psych locums gigs pay maybe a little more than 100/hr. Of course location and other factors affect these numbers, but the impression I get is that if money were the only factor, one could reliably work year-round at around 150/hr. Then I see things like...

I have some questions about the economics of locums companies- Does anyone know how much of a premium companies charge hospitals over the physician fee? Is it 50%? 100% Do they bill hospitals separately for licenses, room, and board or is it rolled into a general fee? Do hospitals prefer to...
