Frequently asked questions
How does per diem nursing work?
Per diem nurses pick up shifts as needed without a fixed weekly schedule. You commit to a minimum number of shifts per month and choose dates that fit your availability.
Does per diem pay more than staff?
Yes — per diem hourly rates are typically 20–40% higher than staff rates because there are no benefits or guaranteed hours.
Are benefits included?
Most per diem roles do not include health benefits or PTO; the higher hourly rate is meant to offset that. Some hospitals offer limited benefits at higher commitment tiers.

Nursing Jobs in Mill Valley, CA
Mill Valley is a working healthcare town: Cedars-Sinai, Kaiser Permanente, UCSF Health, Stanford, and Sutter Health drive consistent demand year-round. Most nursing openings around Mill Valley, California fall into three buckets — staff hospital roles, per diem and PRN shifts, and travel/agency assignments tied to ICU, ER, labor & delivery, and travel nurse contracts.
If you live in or near Mill Valley, you can usually choose between a staff hospital position close to home or a travel/agency contract paying premium rates. Compensation in California reflects premium California RN pay driven by mandated 1:5 nurse-to-patient ratios; California is not part of the NLC compact, and experienced RNs — especially with ICU, ER, or labor & delivery experience — see noticeably stronger offers from Mill Valley-area employers.
