THE NURSE NETWORK

Since the pandemic started, there has been a large number of nursing agencies that have sprung up in ct.  A lot of them are offering better pay of than nurse Network.   Nurse Network only pays 35.00 an hour no matter what shift or if weekend.  Other agencies are paying 40-57.00 an hour and offer differential on top of that.  Nurse Network is not trying to imitate other agencies by offering “contracts”.  These vary from 4 weeks to 12 weeks.  Unlike, a real nursing agency, nurse Network contracts are not guaranteed 40 hours.  expect to be canceled and lose hours.   Many of the facilities that are with nurse Network  are trainwecks These places often have high pt to nursing ratio, lack of supervisors to assist, and unwelcoming regular staff.  Do not expect any support from anyone at nurse Network.   They will not listen to any of your concerns about facilities you work at.     They book you for shifts without confirmation.  They also cancel shifts without telling you.   They’re system of booking shifts is outdated in you have to call and speak to someone to say you picked up a shift on the portal. Every other agency has an app and you select facility and shift.  You don’t need to call and waste time speaking to some idiot in office.   Nurse Network office staff are very disorganized and unprofessional. This agency won’t be around in the future if they continue to treat their independent contractors.   

There are plenty of hours at nurse Network however the pay rate is $18 an hour which is extremely low for an agency. There are no benefits there are no raises. It's hard to get time-and-a-half because you have to do all of your hours in one building. If you can't get your hours in one building you don't get time and a half, and some buildings they don't charge them time and a half over 40. Most of the schedulers are rude. If you have a problem at work and report it to the company most of the time they're on your side however they will not talk to the building you're at about it because it's all about the building. The good thing about nerds network is there are covid building so you can receive time-and-a-half for it. And you can make your own schedule however the schedulers may not support the hours that you schedule yourself for. For example you're going to work a double from 8:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. The building May understand that you have childcare to get your children to in the morning and that's the time that you can come in and work plenty of hours for the building however the schedulers will not. Much better agencies to work throughout their Career Staffing Norton Solomon and Page National etc etc

The Nurse Network offers next day pay they advertise it as such but it’s a lie if you work Friday sat Sunday which is in the same pay week you have to wait for Friday to get paid because by Monday they do pay roll and you can’t get paid for the weekend you work before Monday do not pick up the weekend at this company . Scheduler will say they will put it in manually but they lie and don’t .as they work from home on the weekends and there’s no pay roll and most likely answer the work phone on there personal phones  . The nurse network advertises next day pay for Monday through Thursday only . Beware because you will have to call in to so that you can receive your pay they have to manually do it and it’s always an issue .

The job I am currently performing and the job location is ideal and very easy work.  However, I cannot say the same about Nurse Network.  It is very difficult to get in touch with people, they tell you one thing and then it changes or they don't get back to you. The payroll people have no idea what they are doing. You are considered an independent contractor. They will give you a 1099 and you are considered self employed, yet many people I work with did not know that.  Very poor management and communication.

While working at their client's facilities, You are not covered under workman's comp if you get injured.  If you work over 40 hours a week you do not get paid time 1/2. They hire their employees as sub contractors, That way they don't have to provide  Insurance or benefits for you. As a sub contractor you are required to  Carry your own insurance. I feel that nurse network takes advantage of hard working individuals.I would not recommend this agency for anyone.

Schedulers are rude and disrespectful. Can be petty and purposely not give you shifts if they are upset with you. They are also liars who don’t tell the total stories to their bosses. Bosses are rude and disrespectful. They think they can disrespect you and smile in your face. It’s a per diem independent contractor job. Absolutely no benefits

I actually had a ball at my interview. Lots of laughter and joking, but professionalism was always number 1. I'm very excited and thankful for the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful company.

Very helpful office staff.  Assignments were interesting and consistent. Did not get to meet other employees due to nature of job. No benefits. Hired as private contractor and given 1099.

Have worked as an RN with Nurse Network for over 6 years.  Many different options and placement choiuces.   Nursing is tough all over, but they pay well.  Recent increases have kept up with the market.  Looking at travel opportunities with them in FL.
