The Nursa app ensures that you can only pick up shifts for which you have a valid and uploaded license. This policy helps maintain compliance and ensure that all shifts are filled by appropriately qualified professionals. The best practice is to upload any valid licenses to ensure you can see all shifts you may be eligible to request. See terms of service. To pick up a shift on the Nursa app: 1. You must have a valid license that matches the requirements of the shift. 2. Ensure your license is uploaded and verified in the app. For example: - To pick up a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) shift, you need a valid CNA license. - For an LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) shift, a valid LPN license is required. In some states, one license's scope of practice may encompass another's. The best solution would be to upload a valid license for the shift you are interested in, or to connect with the facility for them to repost the shift for your license type if you're using the Nursa app. Also review terms of service.

Overview For the last couple of summers, Nursa has supported Camp Kesem by helping them find LPNs and RNs for their summer camps. Camp Kesem is a non-profit organization that offers camps for children whose parents have cancer. While they strive to meet their nursing needs through volunteers, they occasionally post opportunities on our platform when they are short-staffed. As the season approaches, we want to inform you about these unique shifts that may appear in your region. Quick Facts about Camp Kesem Shifts Purpose: We assist Camp Kesem because they are a remarkable charitable organization, providing our clinicians a chance to use their skills in a unique and meaningful way. Camp Duration and Compensation: Camps last between 4-6 days. Camp Kesem runs as much as possible on volunteers but when they are short staffed, they'll post on Nursa. These opportunities typically pay $1000. Locations: Camps are help nationwide. Current needs are in MI, OR, and TX. Additional opportunities will pop up throughout the summer. License Types: Camp Kesem accepts both RNs and LPNs. Therefore, they will post two openings for each need, one for each license type. Once a position is filled, the other opening is closed. How to find a Camp Kesem Opportunity on Nursa Go to app.nursa.com/shifts/search-by-facility Search "Camp Kesem" A Camp Kesem representative will reach out and ensure you as the clinician have a full understanding on what this job entails before scheduling How can I volunteer? Visit https://www.kesem.org/get-involved/staff-roles-at-camp-kesem and fill out an interest form. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to contact our support teams or leave a comment. Thank you for your attention and support in this endeavor!

In California, all healthcare facilities providing direct care services are required to have a signed California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Form 530 on file for each non-employee individual who is paid for direct care services (i.e. independent contractors). To help facilities fulfill this requirement, starting June 13, 2024 all clinicians will be required to e-sign a digital copy of the CDPH 530 form in order to be paid for the shift. Facilities will have access to e-sign their portion of the form and download completed copies for their records. However, you must still follow any additional CDPH 530 processes at the facility. How do I fill out the CDPH 530 form? As a clinician in California, you will be able to easily sign and complete the CDPH 530 form when submitting your shift report. Complete your shift report as normal There will be an additional form asking for assignment details (optional) Give your electronic signature (required) Click "Sign and Confirm" Submit shift report

Users will have higher priority than even T-Mobile or AT&T's regular consumer customers. Q11: What is the catch? ▼ A11: There aren't really any catches, but there are a couple of things to be aware of: - Previ doesn’t offer device discounts, so when it is time to upgrade devices, users will have to pay the full-retail price. - Previ doesn’t offer perks like free Netflix/Disney+ subscriptions like some carriers do on their expensive plans. However, the savings for most people are substantial enough that they should still save money when using Previ and continuing to pay for some of those subscriptions.

Currently, Nursa has shifts available with Intermountain Health in two states: Utah and Colorado. Q: How do I qualify to pick up hospital shifts? Qualifications vary depending on license type, state, and hospital system. Clinicians must have the following experience within the last two years: RN: At least 9-12 months in Medical-Surgical, 2-3 years in ICU, 2-3 years in ER, 3 yrs in PICU, or 2 yrs in Pediatrics CNA: At least 6 months of hospital experience (in any unit) or 2 years of long-term care experience Q: What is the process for working hospital shifts? The process for picking up hospital shifts is four steps: See if You Qualify: See if you qualify by filling out our form here to see if you meet the hospital’s requirements. Compliance: Submit documents required by the hospital (immunizations, certifications, etc.). Orientation: Complete the hospital’s skill pass offs and electronic charting training. Pick Up Shifts: Make top dollar working the schedule that you choose! Q: What is the pay rate for a hospital shift? 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. Q: What charting system do the hospitals use? Intermountain Health in Colorado uses Epic, and Intermountain Health in Utah uses Cerner. Q: When are hospital shifts posted on the app? 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. Q: Do I need to work a minimum number of hospital shifts to maintain access? 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. Q: What color scrubs do I wear? 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. Q: How do I clock in and out of my hospital 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. Q: How do I get a badge for hospital shifts? All clinicians will receive a badge during the orientation process. Q: Do you offer travel expenses or stipends for hospital shifts? 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. Q: Is there overtime pay for working hospital shifts? 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. Q: Does my international experience apply if I am wanting to work hospital shifts? 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. Q: Can I work hospital shifts through Nursa if I don’t speak English? Fluent English proficiency is required to pick up hospital shifts through Nursa.

When will I hear back from Nursa about compliance? After going through the resume review process and confirming that you qualify to pick up hospital shifts, our Hospital team will email you within 1-5 business days. Q: Does Nursa pay for any compliance items? Nursa will pay for a background check, drug screen, TB test, and N95 Mask Fit for clinicians currently going through compliance to work at a hospital. All other items must be paid for by the clinician. Q: I need an exemption form for an immunization required to work hospital shifts. Where can I get one? Policies and acceptable exemptions vary by facility, but let us know if you need an exemption form by emailing our Hospital team (hospitalteam@nursa.com) and we can let you know if the facility you are applying to requires it. Q: How do I complete a N95 Mask Fit Test? First Advantage will send you an email with detailed instructions as to how to complete the N95 Mask Fit Test. When you complete the test, our Hospital team will upload the results for you. Q: Where can I get my vaccines done? Your primary care physician or local clinic can help you with those. Q: Can I do a QuantiFERON-TB Gold test or chest x-ray for TB? Yes for both. QuantiFERON-TB must be completed within 30 days prior to start date. Chest x-ray must include clear proof of positive results, be performed within 2 years from start, and must be dated AFTER the positive TB test. Q: How recent does my TB test need to be? All clinicians must complete a new TB test, as Intermountain requires it be completed 30 days prior to start date. Information regarding TB testing will be sent via email to clinicians currently undergoing compliance to work hospital shifts. Q: How recent does my COVID-19 vaccine need to be? The COVID-19 vaccine can be from any time, as long as you have proof that you had 2 doses. Q: How long does it take to get my background check and drug screen results back? Background check results can take 2-7 business days to come back. Drug screen results come back within 2-3 business days. Q: How long does education verification take? This may vary depending on license type. There is a wait time between when we initially contact the school and when we hear back from them. For CNAs, it may take anywhere between 5-14 business days, while for RNs, it may take 2-7 business days.

If you have worked at Intermountain Health in the last 12 months, you cannot pick up shifts at their locations through Nursa. Prior to starting the compliance process, Intermountain Health will verify their records to confirm you have not worked with them in the last 12 months. However, once the 12 month period is over, you can fill out this form to see if you qualify! Q: I think I do qualify for hospital shifts, however, I was told that I do not. What should I do? If you believe you qualify for hospital shifts, complete this form and we will contact you again. Your resume might not adequately outline your experience, so please be sure that you include all required information (download our Resume Guide here ➡️ Resume Guide.pdf). Q: I don’t qualify for hospital shifts, but I still want to use Nursa. How do I still use it? Nursa requires prior experience and a compliance/orientation process for hospital shifts. However, for long-term care shifts, you can request a shift on the app and wait for approval from the facility. Clinicians often need to request a few shifts before getting approved for one, so don't lose hope if you're not approved on your first attempt! Keep trying. Q: If I don’t qualify for hospital shifts, can Nursa help me get qualified? Qualifications vary depending on license type and state. For RNs, hospital experience is a requirement, but Nursa currently doesn't have available shift opportunities to help you meet the qualification. However, if you are a CNA and have worked in long-term care for up to two years within the last two years, you can become qualified. Please note that CNA hospital shifts are currently limited to Denver. Q: What do I need to include on my resume if I want to work hospital shifts?

In March 2020 the US Federal Government passed the CARES Act to establish a $150 billion Coronavirus Relief Fund. It was established at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic to assist facilities with the increased costs associated with the care of Covid-19 patients. All funds as part of the CARES Act had to be distributed to states for further distribution no later than 31 December 2021; no additional funds have been provided by Congress. To all clinicians: Please note that no additional “Covid-19 bonuses” should be expected. It is a very real possibility that any facility in the US may have patients with active Covid-19. No additional funds have been allocated by Congress. The official Covid-19 “State of Emergency” has ended. The pay rate posted for the shift is the accurate amount of “pay” that will be paid for any particular shift. If you have any questions about a specific shift's “pay rate” please contact support@nursa.com. Even if “Covid-19 bonuses” were available, it would be completely up to a facility whether or not to offer “Covid-19 bonuses.” Nursa has absolutely no control over the availability of Covid-19 funds. If you have any questions you may find the answer to your question in one of the US government links below. Data sources and the distribution methodology for units of local government.

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 – you choose how much you work or how little you will work. Nursa always encourages you to use your best professional judgment on how much you work to ensure patient safety and avoid your own personal burnout. Again, the pay rate on the Shift Card is what you will be paid.

How Should I Handle Potential Exposure to COVID-19?
Nursa posted a clinician help article in Trust and Safety
COVID-19 cases are on the rise again this season. Many clinicians and facilities may have relaxed precautions as natural immunity has been built against various strains of the virus. However, as the virus continues to be prevalent and disproportionately impact certain sensitive groups, we know that you may still have concerns about how you could be impacted in the workplace. We encourage all clinicians to review the CDC's latest guidance on COVID to help make informed decisions about individual safety precautions. If you are accepted for a shift that you requested to work via Nursa, you may contact the facility prior to the shift in order to confirm their COVID protocols and whether you may be potentially exposed. We encourage facilities to apply a “COVID” indicator tag to shifts that may place clinicians in contact with a known or suspected COVID-positive patient. As an independent contractor, you have the discretion to cancel a shift or refuse to work in relation to your level of comfort with a particular facility's health protocols. Please note that unfortunately as a platform, we are not able to compensate you if you choose to cancel a shift or refuse to work. We’re also unable to offer stipends or other forms of pay attached to shifts that may expose you to the virus. Your wellbeing is a top priority. If you believe that a facility isn’t complying with local, state, or federal laws regarding COVID or other Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements, you may wish to contact the appropriate authorities to express your concerns. You can visit OSHA’s complaint landing page for more information about their reporting process. We’d also recommend ensuring that you have access to high-quality PPE when working. Ask your facility how they can support this, or check out this resource from the Get Us PPE initiative to find out how you may be able to access free or low-cost equipment in your state. -
Does Picking Up Shifts with Nursa Impact my Credit Score?
Nursa posted a clinician help article in Trust and Safety
No. Nursa does not request any credit score or credit report information in relation to your background check. Nursa's background checks (which are ran through a third party) are considered “soft” inquiries, which do not affect your credit score calculation.
