SSM Health has reshaped its employment approach to create innovative and flexible nursing options. These new programs allow nurses the ability to shape their careers while working with greater freedom and flexibility. Since each program has slightly different work expectations, nurses are able to select a role that fits their individual and professional preferences. The PRN 1-3 programs let nurses work around their schedule to pick up a few extra shifts every month. With PRN 4, nurses can enjoy the benefits of full-time travel nursing without missing home or experiencing the uncertainty of agency or freelance work.
