Is ShiftKey safe?
1
The phrase The Patient is Always Right has absolutely zero place in a medical facility and needs to be banned from corporate training. A hospital is not a retail store, and treating patients like customers has given people the green light to abuse staff, demand unnecessary narcotics, and refuse basic safety protocols. If a customer is abusive at a restaurant, they get kicked out. Why do we tolerate that exact same behavior in an ICU?
Why don't patients respect that doctors have schedules and can't build them around one individual? Someone told me today that they were just going to come at 4 pm instead of 2 pm tomorrow to see the doctor, and when I explained that 4 pm was not available and gave them our next available openings, they said that we have poor customer service... are you kidding?
AITAH? I am a program manager over several area group homes for people with disabilities. I have worked here for several years and have always taken a 2 week vacation every February with my family as we go out of the country, my boss was always just fine with this as my PTO request was put in a year in advance. My manager ended up leaving and was replaced, and the new manager said they will no longer approve PTO over 7 days because "2 weeks is too long". I am leaving because of this.
I guess it's about as safe as these other workplace marketplace platforms out here. Our facility relied on ShiftKey during staffing droughts. I'd recommend using it only if you want to work at long-term and post-acute healthcare facilities.
I’m thinking of doing long-term, the facilities “near me” offer around $40/hr which is double what I’m making now at my facility. It makes me nervous because are they on the brink of closing to be offering that much? Is my mental health more important?
ShiftKey just partnered with OnShift workforce management software to launch schedule automation marketplace integration. The new integration was able to pull off an 83% decrease in unfilled shifts. The new tool is called SAMI.
Are you thinking of using it yourself or are you looking to staff using ShiftKey? I know a peer who prefers to select the shifts and facilities she likes and she loves the flexibility.
For myself, I’ve been at my current facility for two years now and it’s just become too toxic. It just doesn’t seem worth it anymore. I don’t know if worths stepping out of my comfort zone and choosing my own hours.
They have a privacy policy in place and I haven't heard any mishaps happenings. All i have heard is great reviews about Shiftkey
I’ve wondered the same question. They require a lot of tests and credentials that the other apps don’t. So do they have good shifts?
It depends on how you describe good. I’ve gone to facility that I had a great experience and then the other, I was the only nurse in the whole building and couldn’t get ahold of the administrator.
