•  
•  🏆  PRO TIP: When you take shifts with Nursa you are working as an independent contractor. This means we don't take taxes out of your paycheck. Check out our in-depth guide on how to handle your taxes!

Be sure to include things like:

• ❑ BLS or CPR/First Aid Certificate
• ❑ TB Test (dated within 12 months)
• ❑ Any state required credentials 
•  

🏆  PRO TIP: The more complete your profile is the more likely you’ll be picked for shifts. If you have any additional certifications, upload those as well! 

• ❑ Tap on Jobs and adjust the filters in the upper right corner to show shifts that are relevant to your specialty and location. 
• ❑ Tap any available shift card to review details.
• ❑ When you find a shift that works for you, tap Request Job.
• ❑ You will receive a notification if your shift request is accepted. 

 🏆  PRO TIP: Communicate early and often with the facility you’re working with. Ask them anything from what color of scrubs to wear to where to park. You can reach out to them directly in the app.

• ❑ You can review your requested and scheduled shifts within the Schedule section of the app.
• ❑ Follow the prompts in the app to complete your digital shift report. 

 🏆  PRO TIP: Show up early to your shift to get familiar with the layout of the facility.

• ❑ 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.

• ❑ 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.

• ❑ 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.

• ❑ 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. 

• ❑ Facilities take notice when you go above and beyond to care for patients. 

• ❑ There may be a dress code noted in the app, if not, you can reach out to the facility - but you're usually safe with solid muted colors.
• ❑ Arrive 15 minutes early.
• ❑ Check in at the front and ask where to go.
• ❑ Check in on the Nursa™ app.

• Locate your point of contact, whether it's a scheduler or shift lead to ask about:
• ❑ Clocking in and out practices
• ❑ Breaks and lunches
