What is a per diem CNA job?

A per diem CNA job is an as-needed, flexible position where you work individual shifts rather than a fixed contract schedule. Per diem CNAs are called in to cover short-notice staffing gaps and typically earn premium hourly rates in exchange for their availability and flexibility.

Do travel CNA jobs include housing?

Most travel CNA jobs come with a tax-free housing stipend that you can use to arrange your own housing near the assignment location. Some agencies offer agency-arranged housing as an alternative. Medlivo provides housing stipends for qualifying travel CNA assignments.
