Autumn Lake Healthcare at Baltimore Washington may ask for a signed independent contractor agreement before approving clinicians to pick up shifts at the building. It sits among the documents on a credential list rather than the training.
What kind of record is this?
A document rather than a course. Nothing is studied or demonstrated, and the record is satisfied once the agreement has been reviewed and signed. That makes it one of the faster entries on a credential list to deal with, though the terms it sets out continue well past the moment of signing.
Does one cover every Autumn Lake building?
No. Agreements are held per location, so a clinician picking up across the operator's portfolio may end up holding several, each named for its own building and tracked separately on a profile.
What should I do before signing?
Read it. The document itself is the only place its terms are set out, and a credential page is not a substitute for that. The facility is the party to the agreement and the right place to take questions about what it contains. Where the stakes warrant it, professional advice is worth seeking.
How does it relate to everything else on the list?
It stands apart. Training records, certifications, and documents each establish different things, and satisfying one does nothing about another. A posting for a PRN job names each item it calls for individually.
Adding the credential to your profile
Reviewing and signing the document places it on your profile.
- Navigate to your Profile in the Nursa app.
- Locate Credentials on your profile view.
- Select the "+" button.
- Select "Add Credential."
- Select the credential you want to add.
- Follow the instructions to add your credential.
Depending on the credential type, this may require uploading proof of the certification, reviewing and signing a document, or completing a facility-required training in ShiftReady. ShiftReady is an online learning management platform that offers clinicians access to a library of third-party training resources.
