Local Nursing FAQ

Local jobs provide you with a consistent routine and lifestyle while working where you live. Local contracts offer more stability and ease.

As a local nurse, you don’t have to worry about finding a new assignment every few weeks, dealing with licensing and credentialing issues, or adapting to a new environment and culture.

On assignment, you have the opportunity to bond with your coworkers, patients, and community, as well as enhance your skills and resume with valuable experience and references.

Local nursing assignments can range from a few weeks to several months. Generally, the length of a contract depends on the facility’s needs and your availability. Most contracts are 13 weeks long, and many will offer the option to extend your assignment beyond the initial agreement.

Some facilities provide a comprehensive orientation that covers the policies, procedures, equipment, documentation, and culture of the facility. Other facilities provide a brief orientation that focuses on the essential aspects of your role.
