• An SLP with dependents who are virtually learning: You could work 3-5 days per month in outpatient clinic covering an SLPs caseload who needs to be off and you can schedule your shifts in advance.
• A Nursing Home Speech Pathologist: You would have the ability to work weekends in our Bryan hospital. Weekends can be split so the team member is not working 5 days at full-time job and then 2 days at PRN job. We do ask you to commit to at least two weekend days per month.
• An SLP residing in a rural area: You would have the option to cover either outpatient, inpatient, or both with the perk of making your own outpatient schedule.
