• Southern Hub: Portland area
• Central Hub: Augusta & Waterville area

• Penobscot / Eastern Hub: Dexter & Bucksport area

Why Clinicians Love This PRN Role

• Paid for Your Commute: Unlike traditional models where driving cuts into your pay, we offer a separate hourly rate for your qualifying drive time between sessions, plus mileage reimbursement, according to our hub's routing guidelines.
