10 Things You Won’t Miss when You Work a Locum Tenens Assignment (continued)


In our series on the top ten things you WON’T miss when you work a locum assignment, here are numbers 5 and 6…

5. Being the boss –Never underestimate the stress that comes with being the boss! If your office staff reports to you, you’re well aware of the difficulties of keeping all the balls in the air to keep the office work flow flowing.  Not to mention hiring, firing and figuring out what to do when someone calls in sick or just doesn’t show up at all. There’s really never a dull moment when you’re the boss!  When you’re the locum, you may not get to call the shots during your assignment, but because you work for yourself, you’re really the boss anyway!

6.  Meetings, meetings, meetings – No matter where you work, you’re probably required to attend meetings on a regular basis. Have you ever stopped to think how much time per day is spent in meetings? If you are a locum, you are rarely required to participate in meetings unless you are on a long-term assignment. Let’s face it, a meeting-free day means you get to see patients, get stuff done, and move on to the after work activities you enjoy the most.
