About This Role
This per-diem or part-time position at Upson Regional Medical Center focuses on providing essential breast imaging services within a community hospital setting. You will operate advanced diagnostic equipment to perform screenings and diagnostic mammograms, ensuring patient comfort while maintaining rigorous imaging standards. The role is designed for flexibility, offering roughly 16 hours per week with the option to choose between a PRN status featuring a shift differential or a structured part-time schedule that includes a comprehensive benefits package. An ARRT certification in Radiography is mandatory, and while prior mammography experience is preferred, the facility welcomes technologists eager to specialize in women's health. This role is a perfect match for a detail-oriented professional who values a healthy work-life balance and a communal atmosphere. Along with competitive pay structures, you gain access to an on-site wellness center, supporting your own health while you care for the Thomaston community. Whether you are a seasoned expert or a radiologic technologist looking to expand your clinical repertoire, this position provides the modern tools and professional support necessary to excel in diagnostic imaging.

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.
