3. Orientation: Complete the hospital’s skill pass offs and electronic charting training.

Pay rate is visible on the app under “Shifts.” Use the filters to find the specific shift you are interested in. A variety of factors can impact pay rate: your license type, the shift time, hospital needs/urgency, etc.

Intermountain Health in Colorado uses Epic, and Intermountain Health in Utah uses Cerner.

There is no set date that hospital shifts are posted. The date/time of when they are posted will vary by each facility and their individual needs.

Nursa, being a marketplace platform and not the employer, does not impose a minimum shift requirement to maintain access to hospitals. However, hospitals may have their own requirements (which vary depending on the facility), and will be discussed once your experience is verified and you are deemed eligible for hospital shifts.

Scrub color may vary depending on the facility. Once you are approved for hospital shifts and complete the compliance process, you will receive instructions regarding the specific color of scrubs to wear before your orientation shift.

Clocking in and out procedures will be explained during your orientation with the hospital. If you encounter any difficulties, please email hospitalteam@nursa.com for assistance.

All clinicians will receive a badge during the orientation process.

Travel expenses or stipends are to be communicated between the clinician and the facility, as Nursa's role is solely to serve as a marketplace platform connecting the two parties.

When reviewing the pay rate on a Shift Card, the pay that you see is the pay that you will receive. That pay already includes variables like weekends, nights, and holidays. Facilities may choose to add a bonus to a shift, but that is completely up to their discretion. If a facility chooses to add a bonus either before or after the shift, it will show as a different line item on the Shift Card and be in addition to the pay rate. When you pick up shifts with Nursa, you are paid as a 1099 independent contractor. This means that overtime hours do not apply.

The hospital systems mandate that clinicians must have minimum required experience in the United States and possess a state-issued license. To determine your eligibility, please complete our interest form.

Fluent English proficiency is required to pick up hospital shifts through Nursa.
