I am a new CNA (Certified Nurse Assistant) and I heard of other CNAs working on a Per Diem basis. Does anyone know what it means to get hired to work in hospital or nursinghome as a Per Diem CNA?

Per Diem is translated as Per Day. Usually this means as needed or more closely to being on call. They can call you off usually within a few hours before your shift starts. They can cancel you if there are too many people scheduled. Full time and Part time people will have shift scheduling seniority over you and you will not get benefits like full or part time workers. The pluses of being per diem are that you can schedule yourself when you want, you get a higher rate of pay, and you can move your schedule around to fit your needs. Full time and part time employees usually don't have that flexibility.

Per Diem means Per Day.

Per diem means as needed. You would be called in when normal staffed called in sick or needed time off for other reasons. Usually, they will guarantee a minimum hours of work per pay period, but this is not always true.

I don't know about CNA, but usually it means it's a paid per day rather than paid per hour.

It means as needed. It is a parttime position that fills in when there is a shortage or vacation, etc. Hope this helps.
