Lesson 3: Adding Credentials

Adding credentials to your Nursa profile will help to increase your chances of being hired for shifts. Each facility will have a different list of requirements and it is important to read each job card thoroughly prior to making a request. 

Below is a basic list of credentials to get started:

• Active Healthcare License
• BLS or CPR/First Aid
• Drivers License
  
• TB Test within 12 months
• Background Check (varies by state)

Do I have to have all of the listed credentials before requesting a job?

No.  Once you’ve added a valid healthcare license we recommend that you start requesting jobs even if you don’t currently have all of the credentials listed.  The facility will review your credentials and decide whether or not to schedule you.  They may ask you to complete the remaining requirements before you show up to work or may have flexibility in waving some of the requirements. That decision is always left in the facilities hands.
