Per-diem nursing marketplace — fast-growing entrant in the post-acute gig-staffing pack
Staffing Workforce · Caregiver Marketplaces
Per-diem nursing marketplace connecting local CNAs, LPNs, and RNs with facilities for short-term shift coverage. Tech-forward, mobile-first; competes head-on with ShiftKey, Clipboard, IntelyCare, and connectRN.
Per-shift facility fees on top of contractor pay
Nursa's "post shifts for free" model is real on the listing side but the actual cost structure is the markup on the clinician's hourly rate (the difference between clinician take-home and facility billing). Practical RFP questions: (1) what is the facility-side hourly markup or fee, (2) is there any minimum-spend or commitment, (3) what is the cancellation policy (clinician no-shows, facility cancellations), (4) how does credential verification work and what's the platform's liability, (5) confirm in writing the "no hire-away fees" terms — this is a meaningful TCO advantage if you plan to convert PRN-to-FT.
Marketplace onboarding is light — facility profile, shift posting, credential workflow, payment terms. Most facilities are posting within days. Nursa's clinician-side AI Shift Finder helps fill rate; facility-side product is straightforward.
Vendor-reported metric: facilities using Nursa "fill 3 times as many open per diem shifts, on average, compared to trying to fill the shifts themselves" — useful but vendor-self-reported. "Utah Top Workplace for 2025" is a third-party signal of internal culture, not external service quality. Confirm response-time SLAs and escalation paths in writing.
