With a permanent assignment, you might be close to home and be able to see your family each night, but how much of that time spent together is quality time? Full-time providers are typically obligated to work a minimum number of shifts/hours per month. With the flexibility of locum tenens assignments, you could complete your shifts all at once and have the rest of the month to spend with family, friends, and enjoying your hobbies.

The trade-off for those days you are away, is enjoying the rest of the month seeing your children go to school in the morning, enjoying time traveling with your partner, or even learning to paint or speak a new language.
