A facility marked me as a NCNS when I did in fact arrive for the shift. When I arrived at the facility I was told that they were fully staffed and that I needed to call their scheduler. When I called the person, they told me that they had forgotten to cancel me and that I needed to go home. Somehow, I was then marked as a NCNS by the facility. Despite having screenshots of my calls and texts with the facility scheduler, my account is frozen with Nursa and has been for almost TWO WEEKS. How can this happen when I was the one who was inconvenienced? I arrived for the shift and have proof but Nursa does not believe their clinicians and cuts off our livelihoods instead of resolving the issue. I have been in contact with several “customer service” reps and they have all been less than helpful. I’m hoping by posting on here, I will get someone’s attention who can actually help.

Facilities just aren't posting like they once were. What gives? I've noticed various facilities switching agencies/apps, but not to Nursa. Hope things get better.

I drove two hours to a shift tonight only to find out that the facility had “forgotten” to cancel me. I contacted Nursa and the only compensation they offer is $75?! I know it’s not Nursa’s fault but they should offer more protection for their nurses in these situations. $75 is nothing compared to what I thought I would be making tonight. Not only that but now the other jobs I could have requested have been filled. I know that if we no show or late cancel a shift there are repercussions but what about the facility? What happens to them for completely wasting my time?

Many facilities may require clinicians to take unpaid breaks. We know how those minutes also equal dollars when breaks aren't properly taken. So you can specify whether an unpaid break (lunch or rest break) is mandatory on your shift. Note: Entering break time is completely optional (but recommended if your facility requires it) and should only be used for unpaid break time. Do not add any paid break times, as anything added by this process will automatically be unpaid. Adding a Break Time When you’re adding a new shift: Tap Break Tap Create new Break Once you’ve created a break time, it will be available to use in the future, or you can create other break times as needed Enter the break time in minutes, e.g. 30 The break time cannot be longer than the duration of the shift, so make sure you add the shift time first Tap Save Break If you add a break time but then want to remove it before posting the shift, you will need to set the break time to 0, as once it’s edited, it cannot be removed Finish posting the shift Clinicians will see the required break time on the Shift Details when reviewing and requesting a shift. You are not able to edit the break time after posting the shift until after when you’re completing your Shift Report. The break time automatically populates on the Clinician and Facility Shift Reports. Clinicians can edit the reported break time, but they will receive a pop-up warning if they report less than the posted break time. Facility users will also receive a warning if the break was less than the posted required break, and you can correct any discrepancies on your Facility Shift Report. As mentioned above, break time is unpaid, so it won’t be calculated in the total pay when Shift Reports are submitted.

Hello Oregon RNs! I'm an RN with experience in Acute Care only and looking to get started working in ALF/SNFs. Can anyone recommend a good facility to pick up a shift and get some quick form of orientation (or at least decent instructions) as to what are the expectations of me as an RN in these facilities. I'm mostly concerned about the charting because I imagine they use different platforms than EPIC? If anyone has any useful info please feel free to share ❤️ Thanks so much!

I'm working at the Allegiant facility in mesa today but their check in doesn't have a specific option for Nursa so I didn't check in they know I'm here so I'm guessing I just won't check in?

Facilities keep posting shifts that they dont’t need staff for. They post a lot of these shifts as back up if someone calls off. I have had staffers tell me that all their shifts are filled for the next two weeks but have shifts posted on the app. Or I will show up to a shift on time and be told - “well, everyone showed up so we don’t need you”. If you don’t need me why did you book me. I wasted my gas and time to come to your facility but you only booked me as a back up. This needs to stop! Facilities complain that agency staff are not reliable but these facilities are not reliable as well. Nursa needs to do something about penalising facilities for false advertising. the other day I showed up to a 12 hr shift and the scheduler had scheduled for only four hours! Why would you book a 12 hr shift but schedule me for four hours?! I left and did not work the shift (I went somewhere else to work) because that is ridiculous.

Do you think facilities should assign registry staff to their covid unit?
-
That's what I was told yesterday. They said that it's because Nursa is raising their rates...Are you kidding me?!?!? I have built up a rapport with this facility to where they verify my shift immediately after working it, they notify me that shifts are posted, and I communicate with the management team on a day by day bases to assist in making the facility a better place to work at...everything has been going great. Why fix what was not broken? Your greed to make more money off of my labor has resulted in no more shifts scheduled here and no more money from this facility. Who decides this??? You aren't making enough money from us already???? How do you justify the rise in rates ???? Please fix this...if not, i for one will be forced into becoming core staff...i am outraged!!!

How does Nursa support and helps us when Facilities schedule us for 12 hours than when you get here they tell you to do showers only, I’m almost done in total maybe 6 hours. Another Nursa contractor told me they sent her home early too since she was done with showers. I got an Uber for $47 dollars to get here and more than likely another $47 to go back home. After setting aside for taxes x2 since we get taxed double I’m left with technically nothing! It’s upsetting that we are being taken advantage of! Especially since facilities are paying less than $30 now. SMH! I can’t even request new shifts since I was supposed to stay until 6pm the Nursa app doesn’t let me!

There is a facility where I am located that posts the majority of shifts in my area. I have been requesting shifts since my initial download of this app. Never been accepted for a shift. Messaged the point of contact repeatedly to figure out what I’m doing wrong. The staffing associate finally responds saying that they were good for the day. So why are shifts being posted that don’t even need to be filled. Then I finally got another response about how to get booked. I was told that I need to come to the facility to get a background check down and fingerprints done that will cost me out of my own pocket. How was this not communicated from weeks ago and how is anyone supposed to know automatically? I was told today that Nursa was unaware of this process. Very frustrating.

I worked a shift recently and the facility canceled the shift 2 days after. Now the RCC is saying I didn’t work the shift, but the employees know I did. How do I get paid for working that shift?

How to Create & Use Saved Instructions
Nursa posted a facility article in Clinician & Shift Management
Clinicians are more likely to request shifts with detailed instructions because they feel more confident that they know what to expect. Saved Instructions allows you to create, save, and use instructions for future shifts, which can save you time when posting shifts. Saved Instructions are facility specific, so you and your coworkers can share each other's notes. Creating Saved Instructions When you’re adding a new shift: Tap Instructions Tap the Comment Icon in the lower right of the Instructions box Tap Add New Instructions Enter a Title and the Instructions Tap the purple check mark to save Tap Select on the note you would like to add Back in the main instructions box, you can edit the final wording or add to it. You can also add as many notes as you’d like. Every time you tap Select on an instruction, it will be added to the bottom of the instructions – adding another note does not replace what is already there, just adds to it. You can create as many Saved Instructions as you need! Once you have Saved Instructions, you can edit those at any time by tapping the pencil next to the title. From there you can also tap the garbage can icon if you no longer need that note. -
How to Use the Facility Schedule Page

A single facility can have multiple users connected to it, and vice versa, a single user can be connected to multiple facilities. This helps everyone in a facility managing the schedule through Nursa to stay aligned and connected on what shifts have been posted, requested, and scheduled. To be connected to a facility, the user must request the connection and be verified by another user connected to the facility or by Nursa Support, if no other person is connected. You can find those steps in our Connecting to Your Facility article.

It will be nice if picking up a shift will be first come first served because ever since I started working for Nursa I’ve only worked four times because facilities either have their own people they like to approve or something else. There is a plethora of CNAs and everybody waiting on one shift without certainty of getting it is frustrating.

Has anyone else experienced facilities calling you out due to having floor staff wanting to pick up, but refusing to cancel the shift on their end? I have recently learned that if a facility cancels a shift within 48hours of the start time of the shift beginning, they still have to pay the payout for posting the shift; if we as workers cancel, we are locked for 2 weeks. Recently I have had 3 shifts by 2 facilities contact me the night before & 2hrs before the shift started, or sent me home, but refuse to cancel the shift on their end, thus locking me till the end of the shift time and preventing me to pick up due to being scheduled already. One facility threatened to just report that I did a "No call, No Show" when I said I would cancel on my end with a comment. The facility that did me dirty 2x has blocked me from picking up there anymore, not that I would want to. Shout out Nursa! They has been very understanding and haven't locked me due to thorough communication with them. Am I the only one?
