There is nothing better than a good laugh

Have you ever laughed so hard you had to catch your breath, or had tears streaming down your face? Laughter is natural, just check online for videos of babies laughing, and see for yourself, there is no shortage of spontaneous laughter which will inevitably make you smile, and probably laugh.  There is nothing better than a good laugh, especially with friends, family, and those you love! During the holidays it’s easy to let ourselves become stressed out, wrapped up in the hustle & bustle, and lose the true joy that can be had during the holiday season, and this can be an especially challenging time for locums providers who are traveling or away from their loved ones caring for patients.

Laughter is more than a quick pick me up!

Laughing decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and antibodies, therefore improving your resistance to disease.  We change physiologically when we laugh, we stretch muscles in our face and body, expand our lungs, engage the chest and abdomen muscles, our pulse and blood pressure go up, and we breathe faster sending more oxygen to our tissues.  Laughter also triggers the release of potent feel good beta-endorphins, helps to cope with difficult situations, connecting with other people, improving your mood, and is good for your long-term health. Laughter can help lessen depression, anxiety, increase person satisfaction, and just make you feel happier in general, promoting an overall sense of well-being.

Laugh Everyday!

If you can find reasons to laugh every day, you will probably find that your relationships with others will seem more meaningful, you will have more collaborative teamwork, life’s challenges won’t seem so impossible, your mood is sure to improve, and you will reap the benefits of a natural and free medicine that we all have access to.  How great is that!?

The Best Gift

Laughter and smiling are generally intended as messages of good will, engaging in both could lend to the idea that we each individually contribute and increase peace on earth and good will toward others in our every-day lives, especially during the holidays.  Laughing might be the most contagious of all emotional experiences, so, while you are out there practicing medicine this Holiday Season, give the gift of the best medicine, laughter, and catch some yourself!

There are so many web sites out there, tons of recruiters calling you and emailing opportunities, lots of agencies, so many opinions about what locum tenens is, and isn’t, it can become quite confusing.  Here are some things you should know if you are considering taking on locums work (no matter what your specialty is).

1 – CREDENTIALING IS A PIECE OF CAKE!

FALSE! Providers who have never worked a locum tenens assignment before, and even some that have, may think that a locum’s assignment is easier to get into rather than a regular staff job at a hospital, credentialing is easier, less paperwork, quicker, and so on.  This is just not the case. As a locum tenens provider, you are held to the same credentialing standards as a staff physician or advanced practice provider, and have to adhere to all the same by-laws and rule that are set by the medical staff office where you are applying.  You will be required to provide recent references, updated supporting documents, CME’s, all your training certificates, copies of your DEA, state licenses, just to name a few.  Do you want a helpful hint? Have all of these things in a file on your computer so that when the times comes, and you are confirmed for a locum’s assignment, you are prepared to send that all over to your recruiter or agency quickly! Some hospitals can offer temporary or emergency privileges, and some take 30-90 days to credential, it can vary widely.  The better prepared you are with your documentation, the more likely your file will rise to the top of the pile and you will prevail! We are here and ready to help you with your credentialing packet, when you are ready, we are! CLICK HERE TO CONTACT OUR CREDENTIALING SPECIALIST

2- YOU ARE THE OBVIOUS CANDIDATE TO CHOOSE!

This one is tricky! You may have the most amazing CV out there, and a clean work history with no red flags. Guess what? So do a ton of other amazing physicians, and providers. Each time you see an email in your inbox from a recruiter, it’s good to know that most other agencies (with few exceptions) know about that same job and are sending out marketing emails as well, responses with viable candidates come back in droves sometimes and the job gets filled quickly! If you are really interested in the position, you can make yourself stand out by being extremely most responsive to your recruiter, sending an updated CV in Month/Year format
