Shiftkey is ok (certainly not the worst app) but I believe there are a few things they could improve on or add to make employment better. 24 hour help would be great. Considering nursing is 24 hours and clinicians like myself work overnight, the option for help after hours and weekends would be a great addition. I think there should be a phone number to contact customer service. I think the turnaround time for responses could be better. I think the fact that it’s suggested for us to “call the facility” for issues is frustrating. There should be a middleman to speak/advocate for clinicians to maintain professional boundaries and hold facilities accountable for issues they tend to procrastinate on. I think the “bidding” is misleading. There is a maximum bid per facility and it’s mostly capped at $1.50 over the suggested rate. If someone bids too high over 2 times without knowing this, you’re only able to accept the minimum suggested rate. I have found that increasing it (+) by 5-6 taps is usually the max. Instead I think each facility should post the max bid they’ll accept. I think they should cap applicants to a shift by maybe 5 and if the applicant before them cancels or is denied, you move up on the list. I think bonuses should be included for last minute shift postings. I think instant pay of shifts cancelled by facilities should be available instead of in the next weeks pay cycle. I think they should bring monthly surveys to the app. I think holiday pay should be included.
