Benefits
KARE does not appear to offer a traditional benefits package. The platform's model emphasizes flexibility and schedule control rather than employer-provided benefits. Nurses operate as independent contractors selecting shifts through the app, which typically means no health insurance, retirement plans, or paid time off. The primary 'benefit' is the ability to earn income on a flexible basis and potentially transition to permanent roles at client communities.

“To do what nobody else can do, in a way that nobody else will do, despite all that we go through, that is to be a nurse.”
Ask the question, even if you asked it yesterday. Being embarrassed for a minute beats spending the whole shift unsure.
