- 1:1 patient care only – no double-booking, ever.

The Earnings & Model You Deserve
- Highly competitive tiered per-visit rates with increased PRN compensation.
- Salary options for full-timers.
- Tiered pay model – earn more as you take on more visits.
- Faster onboarding = faster earnings (start within ~2 weeks).
The Caseload You Need

- Get paid for up to 2 cancellations per month that we’re unable to replace.
The Support You Deserve
Dedicated admin team handles scheduling, documentation support, and coordination.
You focus on patient care. We handle the rest.
Shadowing available, put your concerns to bed.
Perks That Actually Help

- Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
- PTO & Paid Holidays.
- Commuter Support Package.
- Student Loan Repayment.
