Does anyone pick up shifts from an app?

Published

I work full time at a dialysis center but need extra income. Currently my facility doesn't have overtime hours. I looked at the apps and they're mostly nursing home positions. I have 6 months med surg experience and 5 Months dialysis. Do you think I'll be able to handle NH agency shifts?

I did that for a little bit and I hated it. Generally you pass meds for 28 or so patients which for me is a nightmare.

In my opinion there are better ways to make extra money. I have a per diem job and a full time job now. 
It doesn't hurt to try it out though. You can dump it if you hate it.
