You felt it in your gut. That moment when something your recruiter didn’t tell you suddenly matters — a lot. CRNAs deserve the full picture. Always. 🚩 If something feels off, it probably is. ✅ A good recruiter tells you the things you didn’t even know to ask. Tag a recruiter you actually trust. Let’s raise the bar.

📊 Monday Market Update – August 25 A new survey of 730+ physicians and APPs is clear: pay still matters, but it’s no longer the only headline. Schedule flexibility, family time, and truly being “off” when you’re off are climbing neck-and-neck with compensation as top priorities. This isn’t just a recruiting challenge—it’s a culture shift. Healthcare leaders who ignore this risk higher turnover and faster burnout. 💡 Takeaway: Long-term retention requires valuing the person as much as the provider.

As National Wellness Month comes to a close, we’re proud to celebrate the importance of health, balance, and resilience. At ERO Workforce Solutions, wellness means more than physical health, it’s about supporting our providers, caring for our communities, and encouraging our team to take care of themselves. Let’s carry this spirit of wellness forward, one step at a time. 💙 #NationalWellnessMonth #Healthcare #TeamERO #Wellness

🧠 Most locum CRNAs in California don’t realize they’re leaving thousands on the table. They chase the shiny $250/hr 1099 rate… But never ask: “What’s my real take-home after self-employment tax?” “Am I getting tax-free per diems?” 💥 Reality check: A $250/hr 1099 rate isn’t $250 — once you subtract the 15.3% self-employment tax, you’re really making ~$212.75/hr. Most aren’t even claiming the federally allowed tax-free per diem for lodging and meals — which W2 providers receive automatically when structured right. And here's the kicker: 📉 Many think they’re winning on 1099 when they’re actually behind — or dead even — compared to a smartly built W2 offer. This isn’t about pushing one format over the other. It’s about knowing what you don’t know. 📌 If you’re a CRNA doing locums in CA, and no one has broken this down for you? You’re not alone. But you deserve better. DM us. We’ll show you the math — not the marketing.

Bridging Rural Care Gaps: Locum Tenens as Rural Lifelines In 2025, 66% of healthcare facilities now use locum tenens as part of their long-term workforce strategy, not just as a quick fix. The shift is even more dramatic in rural communities: 📈 Utilization jumped from 34% last year to 58% this year.

Locum tenens physicians, NPs, and PAs are more than temporary coverage. They are the bridge that ensures patients in small towns, farming communities, and remote areas still have access to the same quality of care as urban centers. It’s not just about filling a shift, it’s about sustaining the heartbeat of healthcare where it’s needed most. ❤️ How has locum coverage made an impact in your community? #LocumTenens #RuralHealthcare #PhysicianShortage #HealthcareStaffing #AccessToCare
