Float Physician Assistant — Per Diem (PRN) Skilled Nursing Facilities

About the job

Float Nurse Practitioner / Physician Assistant, Per Diem (PRN) Skilled Nursing Facilities, [CONNECTICUT AND RHODE ISLAND]

Compensation: $600 to $800 per rounding day, based on experience and territory. Plus $25 per visit above 20 in a day. Mileage reimbursed at the IRS rate for daily travel beyond 30 miles.

Schedule: Per diem, as needed. You tell us the days you are available, we offer assignments as coverage needs come up, and you are paid for the days you work.

Please read this part carefully: this is a PRN role, and work is not guaranteed. Coverage needs vary week to week. There will be busy stretches and there will be weeks with no assignments at all. There is no minimum number of days and no guaranteed income. If you need predictable hours, this is not the right role, and we would rather tell you that now. Many of our floats work two to four days in a typical week, and you are free to decline any assignment.

Coverage area: FAIRFIELD, NEW HAVEN, MIDDLESEX, LITCHFIELD, HARTFORD, TOLLAND, and WINDHAM COUNTIES, WITHIN ROUGHLY A 45-MINUTE DRIVE OF YOUR HOME BASE.

About the role

CRC is a physician-owned and operated group providing physical medicine and rehabilitation services in skilled nursing facilities nationwide. We are building a per diem float bench to cover clinician PTO, leaves, and staffing transitions across our [CONNECTICUT] facilities.

You round at one facility per day, seeing CRC’s existing patient panel. Assignments are scheduled in advance where possible, typically with [NUMBER] days’ notice, with occasional same-week requests you are free to decline. Expect roughly 15 to 20 visits in a day. [NO CALL, NO WEEKENDS, NO OVERNIGHT TRAVEL.]

What you need

• Active, unrestricted [CONNECTICUT] APRN or Physician Assistant license, plus current national certification
• Current DEA registration
• SNF, post-acute, geriatrics, or rehab experience preferred
• Reliable transportation and willingness to travel within the coverage area
• Ability to complete facility credentialing

What the day looks like

Rehabilitation-focused evaluations and follow-ups for patients already on CRC’s panel. You pick up the existing plan, manage mobility, pain, and function within your scope, coordinate with therapy and nursing, document the same day, and hand off cleanly to the returning clinician. Physician backup from CRC’s clinical leadership is available throughout.

Why per diem works here

You control your availability, and you can decline anything that does not fit. Every day you work is paid at the full day rate, whether the census is light or heavy, with no requirement to fill idle time with administrative work.
