With over 300K healthcare professionals, over 1 million shifts filled, and over 6,000 facilities that have used Medely, we are one of the biggest healthcare marketplaces in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hear from other professionals who joined Medely early in their city, and how they succeeded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn the beginning, I remember having to rush and try to book a shift before anyone else every time a notification of an available shift was posted. With time it became a lot easier because more and more shifts were getting posted.\u201d – David Martinez<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere were few shifts, and they were snatched up very quickly. What helped was the few shifts I was able to take, those facilities usually liked me very much and ended up saving me as a \u201cfavorite\u201d and would then request me for future jobs which in turn was a huge payoff since I always got first dibs on booking with them later on!\u201d – Britney Eggleston<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have a specific ringtone for the Medley number when text messages of shifts come through and in addition to that I have the website up and I am logged in on my phone ready to book when something pops up that I want to work.\u201d – Britney Eggleston<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Patience is key. <\/strong>Know your stuff, and as soon as you land those first few shifts, do a great job because if you do, I know that you will be offered shifts directly from the facilities [through Medely\u2019s Favorites feature] instead of you going and searching.\u201d\u00a0 – David Martinez<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBe as versatile and as flexible as you can. And if you can\u2019t, be honest with the employer. Be willing to learn.\u201d – Lori Bell<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGive it a chance. Let yourself experience a few different shifts and places before we decide if it\u2019s for you or not. If you don\u2019t like a specific facility you can choose to not book there again, that\u2019s the beauty and ease of this platform!\u201d – Britney Eggleston<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Definitely! I have come to meet many great employees\/employers and have been offered contracts from different facilities. The pay is great as well.\u201d – David Martinez<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAbsolutely, because it\u2019s an amazing opportunity for one-time shifts. Better than a per diem position where you are required to work a certain amount of shifts. You can work as little or as much as you\u2019d like. If life gets busy you can take a break for weeks or months and then pick right up again!\u201d – Britney Eggleston<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes since 2016 I have recommended Medely to every traveler friend I know and have come to work with. The app is so easy. Everything is right there for you to see. The payout is still quick. And for travel assignments, the recruiters are on top of things. It\u2019s an easy way to make money as a side hustle and now with the travel contracts it\u2019s easy to make this a main job too. I have had no complaints working with Medely all these years.\u201d – Lori Bell<\/p>\n\n\n\nWould you recommend Medely to other nurses and healthcare professionals?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
