This is a fully remote position. We operate 24/7 and follow a rotating roster. The expectation is that individuals should be able to work overlapping hours with EST/PST time zones and be available for weekend shifts if needed in case of emergencies. In return, you’ll have the flexibility to take time off on other days of the week.
What We Do
Clipboard Health uses technology to help nursing facilities (SNFs, senior care, hospitals) get the right nurse at the right place at the right time (CNAs, LVNs, RNs, NPs, etc). There is a well-known shortage of nurses nationwide, meanwhile many new nursing graduates are still unable to find a job 18 months after graduation. Clipboard health aims to solve this problem for the 4 million nurses who comprise one of top three most common jobs in the country. With a presence in multiple locations around the country, Clipboard Health is an alumnus of the incubator Y Combinator.
