It's Your Time to Shine
You’ve worked hard to get to where you are and it’s time to let the world know. That means, we need to level up your profile. Facilities have full autonomy in selecting who will fill their shift. But, we have some tips to make sure you get the shifts you want!
Perfect Your Profile
- ❑ Adding a professional profile picture will make you stand out.
- ❑ Add your specialty and all of your credentials.
- ❑ Upload a resume. This helps schedulers get to know you.
Add as Many Credentials as Possible
- ❑ Facilities can see all of your credentials. If you are 100% compliant with the specialties and credentials in their job card you go to the very top of their list.
- ❑ If you aren’t sure if you are compliant on a desired shift, reach out to the facility directly within the app to find out what you are missing.
Advocate for Yourself
- ❑ Communicate with the facility on what you need during a shift.
- ❑ Waiting for a shift to be accepted? Contact the facility to see if they still need it filled.
Schedule Multiple Shifts
- ❑ Best practice is to request at least three shifts that have your desired date and start time.
- ❑ The app will automatically cancel the other conflicting shifts once you are accepted for one.
Do What You Do Best - Provide Quality Care
- ❑ Facilities take notice when you go above and beyond to care for patients.
Rock Your Shift
It’s the moment you’ve been waiting for - but we understand it’s also a moment that can be a bit intimidating. Don’t worry, we’re here to help. And just remember, you’ve got this!
Pre-Shift Checklist

- ❑ Arrive 15 minutes early.
- ❑ Check in at the front and ask where to go.
