Taken from the Latin "to hold the place of, to substitute for" locum-tenens means, in layman's terms, a temporary person or “someone who substitutes temporarily for another member of the same profession” or a person who substitutes temporarily for another. Originally used to provide physicians on a temporary basis but now includes many types of careers.

Our Locums are employees (nursing, allied health, and administrative professionals) who wish to work per diem for a variety of reasons: Freedom, independence, semi-retirement, seeking a locums-to-permanent position, evaluating an area to live before relocating permanently, evaluating the position / facility before making a full time commitment. Employers hire locum-tenens instead of permanent employees for the same reasons plus: illness coverage, vacations, conventions, to see if the new person fits with the facility before permanent hiring, short term liability coverage, and many other reasons.
