About PRN & per diem nursing jobs in Chicago, Illinois
Chicago is one of the largest healthcare markets in the country, with a deep and constant demand for flexible nursing professionals across hospitals, long-term care facilities, rehabilitation centers, and outpatient clinics throughout Cook County and the surrounding collar counties.
Per diem nursing in Chicago is distinct from travel nursing — you’re working locally, in your own community, on your own schedule. MyShyft makes it possible to pick up shifts without the overhead of a traditional agency: no calls from recruiters, no multi-week contracts, and no waiting on paper checks. You claim shifts through the app, we credential you, and we pay you weekly.
Illinois requires CNAs to hold a current Illinois Department of Public Health certification, renewed every 24 months. RNs and LPNs must hold an active Illinois nursing license. All credential verification for Chicago shifts is handled through the MyShyft app or our local in-house vendor.
