If one of your goals for 2026 is to earn more, one of the simplest ways to do that is to pick up more shifts consistently.
Per diem LTC is a great fit for building your schedule. Here are a few ways to make it easy to pick up shifts consistently.
Pick your “yes days”
Choose 3–5 days you can usually work. When you already know your yes days, it's easier to commit early and keep your week from filling up.
Set a clear weekly goal
Start with 2 shifts per week as your baseline. If you want stronger momentum – more hours and a fuller schedule – aim for 3+ shifts per week. Think of it like this: 2 shifts/week = steady. 3+ shifts/week = momentum.
Make “yes” easy
Most no’s happen for practical reasons, not motivation – being prepared makes it easier to say yes. Keep your bag packed (pens, charger, snacks, water). Have scrubs ready. Save your route and parking plan. Plan your schedule and commute ahead of time.
Stack consistent shifts first, then add extras
If your goal is more hours, lock in the shifts that fit your routine first. Once those are set, add extra shifts when you can. Consistency is what builds your paycheck.
Tell us your availability so we can match you faster
If you want more shifts, the biggest help is a clear availability window. When we know your days and times, we can send you opportunities that fit and help you pick up shifts more consistently.
