Want more control over your nursing schedule in Pennsylvania? RelianXR is a per diem nursing agency matching RNs, LPNs, and CNAs to individual shifts across the state you pick up on your own terms — no set weekly commitment, no long-term contract.

What a per diem nursing agency in Pennsylvania does for you

Per diem work is about control: you set your availability, and RelianXR matches you to Pennsylvania shifts that fit — whether that's a few days a week alongside another job, or a way to sample different facilities before committing to one.

Pennsylvania facilities use per diem staff to cover call-offs, seasonal demand, and short-term gaps, which means steady, ongoing shift availability statewide if flexibility is what you're after.

Who Pennsylvania per diem nursing fits

Per diem roles we place across Pennsylvania:

  • Per diem RNs — ICU, ER, medical-surgical, telemetry, and more
  • Per diem LPNs — long-term care, rehab, and clinic shifts
  • Per diem CNAs — hospital, long-term care, and home health shifts

Pennsylvania nurses who want maximum schedule control, extra income alongside another job, or a way to try a facility before committing tend to be the best fit for per diem work.

How our Pennsylvania per diem recruiters match you

  1. Tell us your license, specialty, Pennsylvania region, and the days or shifts you're available.
  2. We match you — a recruiter brings you per diem shifts across the state that fit your availability.
  3. You choose — pick up the shifts that work, and we handle credentialing.

Where Pennsylvania per diem demand is strongest

Acute-care units — ICU, ER, medical-surgical, and telemetry — see consistent per diem demand in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, since call-offs and census swings hit these units hardest. Long-term care and rehab facilities across Pennsylvania's regional markets also rely heavily on per diem LPNs and CNAs.

Home health per diem work has grown statewide too, giving RNs and LPNs another flexible option beyond traditional shift-based settings.

How you can work with us in Pennsylvania

  • Per diem: individual shifts you pick up on your own schedule — our specialty.
  • Local contract: if you want more structure without relocating, travel-style pay is available at Pennsylvania facilities.
  • Travel & contract: fixed-length assignments if you decide you want more consistency.
  • Permanent: if a Pennsylvania per diem facility turns into the right long-term fit, we can help with that transition too.
