Permanent, per diem, travel, or local contract: how to choose the right staffing route.

A clear framework for matching workforce need to the right hiring model, from long-term retention to urgent gap cover and assignment-based mobility.

Why this matters now

Staffing is no longer a single vacancy problem.

Current workforce data points to sustained pressure: RN demand continues to grow, burnout remains a material risk, and staffing plans need more than one route to cover patient care safely.

RN openingsBLS projects about 189,100 RN openings each year over the 2024 to 2034 decade.
Nursing scaleHRSA reports more than four million RNs, LPNs, and APRNs in the 2024 workforce.
