About per diem ER Nurse work

Emergency and trauma nurses care for patients arriving with acute, undifferentiated conditions — from minor injuries to life-threatening emergencies. Typical duties include rapid triage and assessment, initiating protocols for stroke, sepsis, and cardiac events, medication administration, wound care, and coordinating handoffs to inpatient units or transfer facilities. The pace is variable and unpredictable, and strong prioritization skills matter as much as clinical breadth.

Per-diem ER/Trauma shifts are typically found in hospital emergency departments and free-standing emergency centers. Because emergency census swings by day and season, these settings often post open shifts on short notice, which suits clinicians who want flexible, self-scheduled work.

Credential and licensure expectations vary by state and care setting, and typically include:

  • Active RN license for the state where the shift is located (state licensure requirements vary; compact privileges may apply)
  • BLS and ACLS certifications are commonly required
  • PALS and TNCC are frequently requested for trauma-receiving departments
  • Recent emergency department experience is typically expected for per-diem placement
