What is a contract agency RN?

Contract Agency RNs are registered nurses who work on a temporary basis through staffing agencies. These nurses are contracted to fill short-term staffing needs at healthcare facilities, such as hospitals, clinics, or nursing homes. Assignments can range from a few weeks to several months and often offer higher pay and flexible scheduling. Contract Agency RNs must be licensed and typically have experience in various healthcare settings, enabling them to adapt quickly to new environments.
