So as nurses, death is due to be a part of our lives. It would be good to be able to talk about death and how it affects us. There's nobody else that can relate to us than us... Another important topic is taxes. It's important for people, especially New nurses to registry, to plan and be prepared for having to pay them. It can be an overwhelming shock to "do" your taxes and find out that you owe thousands of dollars you probably don't have, due to being independent contractors. My tax accountant recommended paying them quarterly by buying vouchers from the Treasury dept...how does everyone else deal with it?

Ok I can’t be the only one but I miss being able to find shifts within a radius I could set, or sort them by pay. why? Because now when I put in my state, which is Oklahoma, and I live in the southwestern part, the first shifts it shows me are Sallisaw, Barndall, Tulsa, and Sulphur. the first 3 towns there are all over 3 hours from me, in north eastern OK, Sulphur is 108 miles one way east of me. Then I thought we’ll maybe better pay is how it’s sorted? Uh no, sorry I can’t drive 4 hours one way to make $4-10 less per hour. I have to sit through their masses of postings, and mixed in those will be some from OKC but they’re mostly at the bottom. I can drive to OKC in an hour, those shifts are a reasonable distance. The same goes for if I add Texas to the search (I’m licensed there too) it will show me San Antonio, Austin, and Conroe right at the top…all of those are 5-6 hours from me, but Fort Worth? Nope nothing there. Granted it’s a 3 hour drive but being a major metropolitan area, the pay can motivate me to drive that far, and I know people there so if I can get a few shifts, we’ll I have a couch to crash on for a few days. Please change the search function bsck go allowing us to decide how far we are willing to drive for what pay. Fuel isn’t cheap, so I try to stay within an hour of my home unless it’s SOS with a big incentive then I might because the pay covers the fuel.

Clinicians are always faced with the constant fear of losing their license... has there even been a time you thought in the moment you were going to lose it? What happened?

Has anyone worked in a telenursing role? I'm so curious about what it's like and the pro's and con's!

Just curious if Nursa is working on a daily pay option? Nurseio, Intely and ShiftMed all offer daily pay this seems to be the only app that doesn’t. I’ve seen a lot requests and/or comments about this topic. Thank you.

Is it worth it to join a nurse association/organization?
Jane J posted a question in General Questions
Hey nurse peeps, went to the Arizona Nurse's Association Conference last weekend and was actually shocked by how much the association has done for nurses. I've never really been engaged in an official nurse association before and honestly thought it wasn't worth the money to join, but I was quite wrong, haha. Some of the things they talked about having done in the past year included: legislation they pushed to decrease smoke exposure in the OR (and prevent lung cancer for nurses!), creating a school nurse residency program, and setting up a mental health support system for nurses in Arizona. Those are just a few of the things they've done-- consider me shooketh. I've been seeing a lot of small, local nurse advocacy groups being organized by nurses on social media to try to fight for better pay, staffing ratios, etc. But after attending the conference I wondered if it would be more effective to engage more nurses in the associations that already exist? They've already done a lot of the leg-work in building relationships with legislators, nursing schools, etc. I think most people, like me, just have had no clue how much change these associations are actually driving. But idk...what do you think? -
Hey there, I was wondering how I can get jobs on this app? I have tried getting a couple and have been denied over and over. Any suggestions?

Do you use anything to hold your goods while you work? AKA pens, note pad, alcohol pads, flushes, etc..

Would like to request the feature for saving notes associated with different facilities. Specifically with all the usernames/passwords/codes etc. I'd like to be able to keep that information in one place and in the app would be ideal. In addition, to be able to note what kind of MAR they use and add little FYI's/notes about where to find things etc. What system do other people use to keep track of this kind of information
-
Please make some Nursa scrubs...it would make us feel like we belong in a world where we are the outsiders.
-
I would like if dates would go in order for the shifts. As you can see even using the search by date the shifts still come up out of order as seen in my photo.

Is there a way we can see how facilities rate us. I think it would be good to see I always try to bring my A game. But there is always room to improve so feed back from facility would be nice.
-
Is there a way for support to see if any comments were left by the facility that had rated the clinician?

How long does the background check take? I would like to start picking up shifts but have been waiting on this credential. Thanks.

What are your top safety tips you do on shift to avoid making mistakes? How do you prevent errors? Let's share and help each other be our best clinician selves. For me I always liked to try to stay organized so as not to mix up patients when you have so much going on.

NURSES!!! I reallllyyyy NEED YOUR INPUT! Us nurses are struggling to feel heard/valued at the hospital I'm currently at. What do hospitals you work at do (if applicable, lol) that help you and other nurses feel heard/valued?? Something that I've heard of is shared governance, tuition reimbursement, or career development courses. Thoughts??
-
Working as a nurse can be really difficult, let alone as a hospital nurse... so why do you stay? I'll go first: the flexibility with having a family. Nursa has given that to me!

Does anyone know why the payroll deposits come in as EFT instead of ACH?

What is the process for beginning to pick up hospital shifts with Nursa? I've only ever done long term care. Also, I live in UT if that helps because it's probably a little different in other states, I'm assuming? 🤔

Ever since I did the new update two days ago I have not been able to see any notifications, on the app or using my cellphone internet browser. I was lucky to have access to a desk top and finally then was able to see my notifications to end my shift report. They said many clinicians are calling in with the same issue and they are working on it. But if you do request a shift. You will need to keep checking "schedule " to see if you got approved don't want a NCNS ! Then ask the facility to fill out their shift report so it get sooner if you're unable to do your end shift report. I just put in two request for the 5th. I had also reached out to the facility and told them the issue Nursa is experiencing on the clinicians side, to please reach out and let me know if I get approved.
