Eicosanoids have multiple subfamilies, including most prominently the prostaglandins, thromb…

A common question is asking about badges as a PRN or an "agency" caregiver. As Nursa is a 1099 staffing platform, we currently are not offering badges to clinicians. In full transparency, there can be some red tape around not providing a uniform for clinicians contracted through Nursa, BUT we do have a fellow clinician Faith Harvey who has an Etsy store and makes customized badges. Go check her store out! You can also read her story here: https://nursa.com/blog/spotlight-on-faith-harvey

Curious if anyone else has a strategy when working at a new facility. I have heard working a NOC shift at a facility to see if you like it and if you do, working the swing and then a day shift if you like that facility. Anyone else?

Hi everyone. I'm new to Nursa as of this week. I've signed up for my first shift on the 30th and I'm excited! I have two questions: 1) Do we get/need Nursa badges? If so, I haven't received correspondence about getting one. 2) What is the process for gaining access to different charting systems and EMRs? Are we oriented to them before shift? How are we given access? Thanks everyone!
