Most often we hear they enjoy learning new protocols and procedures and like to expand their clinical knowledge. Contingent workforce professionals generally feel they have more control over their work environments, enjoy better working conditions and don't get caught up in the politics of the organization. It's a career choice that may not be for everyone, but those who choose it can gain valuable experience and skills in all types of facilities, from community to university hospitals, rehabilitation centers, private centers and nearly every type of healthcare facility there is.
