How much do agency rn jobs pay per hour?
What are some common challenges Agency RNs face when adapting to new healthcare facilities?
What is the difference between Agency Rn vs Hospital Rn?
| Aspect | Agency Rn | Hospital Rn |
|---|---|---|
| Work Environment | Various locations, flexible assignments | Hospital wards, fixed shifts |
| Credentials | Registered Nurse license, possibly additional certifications | Registered Nurse license, specialized certifications often preferred |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Staffing agencies, healthcare staffing firms | Hospitals, healthcare facilities |
| Work Schedule | Variable, short-term assignments | Consistent shifts, long-term employment |
Agency Rns typically work through staffing agencies, offering flexible, short-term assignments across various healthcare settings. Hospital Rns are employed directly by hospitals, working in fixed shifts within a specific facility. Both roles require a valid RN license and similar certifications, but their work environments and schedules differ significantly.

What is an Agency RN?
What Does an Agency RN Do?
The job duties of an agency RN (registered nurse) focus on providing healthcare on a contract basis. As an agency RN, you work with a staffing agency that offers placement services. You have the same responsibilities as other RNs, but you work temporarily in each location. You may work on an assignment where you alleviate a nurse shortage at a clinical facility. These placements can last for a few days or for months. Some agency RNs are specialists who provide specific healthcare services, while others perform general nursing duties.
