FAQs - Shifts & Facilities

Nursa is not aware of any facility that offers any type of light-duty or work-restricted shifts. As an independent contractor, please use your best professional judgment to ensure that you can fulfill the requirements of any particular shift before you request it. If you have any questions regarding a particular shift or its requirements, please contact that facility directly.

If you have questions about an upcoming shift or anything else you would like to ask a Facility, you can contact them by phone or by in-app chat.

Nursa is not responsible for any shift worked at a facility if the shift is not posted and scheduled through the Nursa App. If a facility asks a clinician to work a shift and says they will put it in the app later, this is against Nursa policy. Facilities cannot retroactively post shifts in the App.

If you are asked to work a shift that is not in the Nursa App, please ask the facility to post the shift and share it with you so that you can request it and have it officially scheduled as a Nursa shift. 

If not, Nursa will not pay any shift that was not scheduled through the App. If a clinician agrees to work a shift that is not in the Nursa App, the facility will be responsible for paying the clinician as a 1099 employee directly out of their own payroll.

Facilities have full control over managing shift requests. There is not a set time when to expect your request to be accepted or dismissed. You will receive a notification and/or email when the shift has been scheduled or canceled. 

You are welcome to remove a pending request  if it no longer fits into your schedule. If a facility accepts your request after the shift time has started and you did not remove your request, you are still expected to work that shift and report the hours correctly.

Note: You will only get paid for the time you are in the facility working, even if it is a late call.
