Frequently asked questions about Nursa Direct
What is Nursa Direct?
Nursa Direct, powered by Branch, is a business debit Mastercard and account from Evolve Bank and Trust, member FDIC, that facilitates faster payments and improved cash flow. Nursa Direct allows you to get paid instantly for Eligible Shifts as soon as your Shift Report is approved. You can use the Nursa Direct card to pay for purchases anywhere Mastercard is accepted*.
Do I have to get paid using Nursa Direct?
Nope! At Nursa, we want to ensure that our clinicians have a choice in how they get paid and to ensure you can get paid as quickly as possible. Along with the option to get paid twice a week, Nursa Direct is another payment option we’re proud to offer to hardworking clinicians using the Nursa App.
How does Nursa Direct Instant Pay work?
Instant Payments are determined on a shift-by-shift basis and require location tracking to confirm eligibility. If a facility uses custom check-ins (like QR codes or one-time passwords), complete those with your location on—admins will handle any adjustments.
At facilities without check-ins, keeping your location on ensures automatic confirmation and pay calculation. If your location is off or missing, you won’t qualify for Instant Pay and must submit a Shift Report manually. Shifts not eligible for Instant Pay are still paid to your Nursa Direct account within 2–3 business days (excluding weekends) after submitting your report.
Is Nursa Direct separate from the Nursa App?
Yes, Nursa Direct is a separate app that is downloaded in addition to the Nursa App, but they are connected. If you choose to create a Nursa Direct account, you will use the app to manage all of your Nursa payments, your Nursa Direct business debit Mastercard and account, and other perks.

Does this require a credit check?
