Q: "What is the purpose of NursingBids.com?"
A:
NursingBids.com is designed to provide qualified competent Nurses to
facilities that need them. While offering flexible scheduling to PartTime and PerDiem staff and decreasing the need for agency utilization. It gives the opportunity to
logon, scan and bid on available shifts that are posted on the online
scheduling system.
Q: "Will all shifts offered require a bid?"
A:
No. Shifts can be posted that are either a bid or non-bid.
Non-bid shifts just require you to indicate that you want the shift
at the rate facility is offering.
Q: "Does having the lowest bid mean that I will win the shift?"
A:
No. The individual approved to work the bid shift will be
determined by their
skill/competency level, their scheduled
shifts and their bid(s). Also, a history of bid shift cancellations may negatively affect
your ability to win shifts.
Q:
"Are health benefits included?"
A:
No. You will most likely be considered an consultant/independent
contractor by any facility and therefore not receive any benefits.
Q:
"Must I pay my own income taxes, Social Security and Medicare?"
A:
Since you are considered to be an
consultant/independent contractor, you will most likely your own
taxes.
Q:
"Can I bid multiple times for the same shift?"
A:
Yes. If your first bid is no longer the
lowest or was
rejected but the shift is still listed, you can bid a lower rate to see if that will be accepted.
