Registered Nurses (RN) - Acute - up to $47/hr

About the role

ShiftKey helps independent registered nurses connect with a nationwide network of hospitals. As an independent contractor, you bid on shifts that match your preferences and choose your own rate. This flexible opportunity allows you to build your schedule around your life, whether you're looking for extra income, better work/life balance, or more control over your work hours.

• Take control of your schedule: Work only when it makes sense for you—skip night shifts, keep Mondays free, or make time for school pick-ups.
• Earn on your terms: Get paid instantly through ShiftKey Wallet, have payments sent to an existing debit card, or opt for direct deposit.
• Explore different hospitals: Experience a variety of hospital settings and choose what works best for you.

As an independent contractor, you can access and purchase portable benefits through our partner, Stride Health, including options for medical, dental, vision, and life insurance. (Insurance is provided through Stride Health; ShiftKey does not offer these benefits directly.)

Requirements

• A high school diploma or GED
• A valid RN license in the state of LA

Testimonials

• “My life is mine now. I get to actually do what I want to do versus being kind of chained to the system of a career.” – Tessa, RN
• “Before learning about ShiftKey, I was looking for a full-time position after moving to a new area, as well as looking into contract jobs. After the first few shifts found using the ShiftKey app, I was hooked.” – Rene, RN
• “I'm a single mother of a 3 year old. I'm now able to work days that accommodate my hectic life, I can work weekends when I want to, and I get to spend most holidays with my son. Best of all — I can afford to do these things now!” – Molly, RN
