This article: pluralistic.net/2024/12/18/loose-flapping-ends/#luigi-has-a-point discusses last-minute shift scheduling apps like shiftkey, shiftmed, and carerev and how punishing they are for nurses. Will your product be less exploitative than those?

Chris, thank you for the article; it's a very insightful read. I am personally familiar with the apps mentioned—referred to as "bosses"—and their practices. The concerns raised about the gig economy's impact on healthcare workers are significant. However, it's important to highlight how platforms like SHIFTit are working differently to address these issues. SHIFTit empowers both healthcare facilities and professionals through a transparent direct rate model. Facilities set their pay rates, an...

Thanks for the substantive reply. I guess the questions are things like: will your company permanently commit to always show the same pay rate for a given shift regardless of which nurse is viewing it, and to prevent bosses from canceling shifts a nurse has already agreed to w...

Hi Chris, Thank you for your insightful questions and concerns. These are key reasons we created SHIFTit. First Question: Pay Rates Yes, we commit to showing the same pay rate for a given shift, no matter who views it. The rates are set by the healthcare providers, not SHIFTit. For instance, when Facility A posts a shift, they determine the hourly rate. If they set it at $50 per hour, they will see this rate plus our 9% platform fee before the shift goes live. When a shift is posted, healthca...

On question 2, 4 hours is better than nothing but sounds to me like an awfully short time to arrange childcare. I think hospitals should commit a minimum of at least 24 hours in advance. To clarify on question 3, I'm asking about how you could compete with other apps for a hos...

Chris, As I've mentioned, I've offered numerous opportunities to schedule a Zoom meeting for any questions you have. With over 20 years in healthcare as a provider, professional, and facility owner, I can address your concerns effectively. Regarding your first concern: Those in need of child care should pursue full-time positions. SHIFTit and similar apps are designed for those with extra time or seeking to showcase their work ethic, not as full-time job replacements. unlike other Apps, SHIFT...

As a nurse who actively works shifts and uses these apps regularly, I can honestly say this: “Shift It” doesn’t seem to offer anything truly different. It’s still a third-party platform taking a cut—profiting off the hard work of nurses under the guise of offering ‘help.’ Let’...

Hi Patricia, First and foremost, thank you for your dedication and hard work in healthcare—it's truly invaluable. I completely understand your concerns about third-party apps seeming to capitalize on the hard work of nurses. While it's true that platforms like "SHIFTit" are for-profit, it's important to highlight the measures we take to ensure we genuinely add value rather than merely profit. Our onboarding process sets us apart, focusing heavily on safety and integrity. We conduct thorough b...
