Benefits
As independent contractors using the ShiftKey platform, nursing professionals do not receive traditional employer benefits. Instead, ShiftKey offers next-day payment via PayCard or weekly direct deposit, and partners with Stride Health to provide access to healthcare coverage options that professionals can purchase independently. There is no employer-sponsored health insurance, paid time off, retirement plan, or other conventional benefits package.

- How long is orientation, and will I have one preceptor?
- What does a usual day’s workload look like?
- Where would I work, and on which unit or team?
