Nursing Per Diem Program

MetroWest Medical Center is pleased to offer a unique program whereby employees can select the level of commitment and be rewarded up to $10 in addition to your base rate.

This Per Diem Program gives employees a financial incentive in return for committing to a certain level of shifts per month and with the understanding that you would be the first to have a shift cancelled should the census go down. There is no limit to the number of times an individual may be cancelled. This is a non-benefit eligible position. The incentive is a higher hourly rate depending on the number of committed shifts and whether or not the position is unit or service based.

Per Diem I Base Rate +$3.00 2 shifts/mo, 1 of which is w/e, no holiday
