Not a single Notification
Ever since I did the new update two days ago I have not been able to see any notifications, on the app or using my cellphone internet browser. I was lucky to have access to a desk top and finally then was able to see my notifications to end my shift report. They said many clinicians are calling in with the same issue and they are working on it. But if you do request a shift. You will need to keep checking "schedule " to see if you got approved don't want a NCNS ! Then ask the facility to fill out their shift report so it get sooner if you're unable to do your end shift report. I just put in two request for the 5th. I had also reached out to the facility …

Things I need from Nursa
1. An accurate understanding of pay rates and when the highest rate is available on a shift. 2. Proper filtering to select shifts in my state. 3. Can an RN do CNA work? I think so. 4. Text message notifications when facilities post shifts that I prefer. 5. A history of shifts that have been posted and taken. 6. Scheduling for an entire week at a facility if they choose to post like that. I'll think of more, but this is a start.

When facilities try to recruit you!
I truly love working agency, and courious - What is your response when a facility's HR or even D.O.N tries to recruit and offer you a job or tries to have you fill out an application? I am very new to TX, so I kind of have a quick easy response as "I'm new to TX I'm not quite settled in just yet, I really like working agency, with the flexibility also it gives me opportunity to see how facilities are ran, how the team works together and how well the residents are truly being taken care of by the facility as a whole. "

Shift Notification issues in the app/site
After checking the site for shifts, if I fail to find something I can request, I keep my eyes on the "notifications" to see what new needs come along. Unfortunately, the way they are currently set up they don't show what shift (day, evening, night/NOC) in the notification itself, meaning I have to look at them all just to see if the time works for me or not. Mostly not. It can also get flooded with notifications if I'm away for a while. (I ran errands earlier for 1 hour and there were 50 in there when I got back, 49 for the same facility, and 1 for a separate facility!) And while I have a "mark all as read" option, there isn't an option to "clear" them all. And if I don't…

Be able to choose NOT to list certain facilities
Sometimes, when a facility dumps ALL their needs for the month, it gets so annoying to have to scroll past those to find other facilities. It would be nice to be able to sort of "blacklist" a facility so your not bothered with all that.

Stuff you MUST know
Ive been working agency most of my 25 year career as a lpn and a cna prior to that. I have come to know there are a handful of MUST knows to be successful as visiting staff... 1. where is the bathroom 2. what are the codes for: A. Getting out the door B. Getting back in the door C. Dirty utility room D. Central supply 3. the address where you are (if calling 911, they always ask...even though Im sure they can trace the call) As a nurse, I will start my medpass in the narcotic book. I will flag all the scheduled pain pills and look over the prn...when was the last time they got one and when can they have it nex…

Referral bonus
I dont believe we have a referral bonus at this time, but I'd love it if we did! I'm on a bunch of agency Facebook pages and I love sharing how wonderful Nursa is! I also do tell them Nursa is only in 13 states but definitely worth them seeing if it's in there area! Also which are the 13 states?

Name badges
I feel it is imperative that Nursa begin to send us name badges as our patients have the right to know our name and position. I have tried ordering one, but the company I was using wanted authorization from Nursa to use the logo, which is understandable.

Do I have to take a break? What if the shift is too busy?
We don't always have the opportunity to take a break during busy shifts. We get it! However, Nursa will defer to the facility regarding break requirements in their building. You are always encouraged to ask if you're required to take a break and, of course, communicate with the staff on shift so that you take it at the right time. Don't take your break right at peak work flow times or leave early thinking it's a "break." Be sure to take the time needed to eat, rest, and recuperate before you jump in and finish your shift strong!! You got this healthcare hero! 🦸♀️

Transparency w/ Pay Days & Pay Periods
Hi there, When NURSA claims to pay clinicians out every Friday, this is extremely misleading. This app promotes an idea that we can pick up shifts & also be paid for them within the same week. Now I’m hearing from other clinicians who have picked up shifts, that they are always paid the FOLLOWING Friday. This ultimately means that we are paid every Friday on the sole condition that we pick up NURSA shifts EVERY week. This is very misleading & extremely dishonest communication. This app needs to be transparent about pay days/times/periods, especially during recession like times that we are all currently experiencing. Many of us clinicians a…

What's the funniest/craziest thing you've done while sleep deprived from taking too many shifts?
I was riding in the backseat completely sleep deprived and I asked a question to my father in law who was driving and that's the last thing I remember.... I fell asleep immediately after asking it and woke up to my wife and father in law laughing hysterically at me. It was a two second answer to my question and then it was just crickets from me.

Found a new problem with being banned/DNR
Apparently the app has the ban button positioned where the person taking the shift could be selected instead of the one that didn't show up. Supposedly Nursa is straightening out the ban by calling the customer, but this is a serious flaw. I will not be taking any more shifts when they are urgent or past the start time until this is fixed. The risk is too great that I will get banned from another facility for just "helping out." I am making this statement based on what I am told by the representatives.

How many are too many?
I often work by myself and just curious about other cna’s. How many residents are you comfortable working with? And how many do you think is too many alone? Include which shift.

What I want to see for NURSA
Hello everyone and to all NURSA team! I have been with this company for 1 year and I love it! There are some things that I would like to see with NURSA, and those are: Increase pay/bonuses for clinicians who have higher ratings with many shifts or facilities worked. The shifts posted on app should be in chronological order (like from today's date to beyond), this makes a lot easier to keep track of shifts. We used to have a filter that tells clinician of which facilities pays most, what happened to that? lol More coverage throughout states from West to East Coast. Travel contracts with an option to work as 1099? (I kn…
