This piece made me furious. Nurses are asked to *bid* on shifts, offering to work lower and lower wages, and then the app can fail and not pay them at all. We don't have a nursing shortage, we have a shortage of good jobs sane humans are willing to work.

On-demand nursing apps 📲 provide no real certainty about scheduling & encourage nurses and nursing assistants to work for less pay.
The health-care industry is already broken. "Uber for nursing" is reinforcing existing inequalities. @guardian theguardian.com/us-news/2024…
ALT Highlighted text excerpt discussing issues faced by workers, including having to bid on shifts at reduced pay rates and experiencing app problems that led to missed pay.

A new report by @KatieJWells & @fundaustek for @rooseveltinst documents the Uber-ization of *nursing.*
Hospitals staffing via platforms, nurses submitting to opaque algorithm while bidding against each other for wages & scheduling.
So dystopian!

Nurses have fled the profession due to poor working conditions, creating what some people have incorrectly identified as a “nursing shortage.”
Gig nursing platforms falsely promise to empower workers & meet their needs while further exacerbating the many issues in health care.
A new @rooseveltinst report is sounding the alarm on “Uber for nursing.”
Hospitals are using gig apps for nursing, with some nurses paying to bid on shifts and offering to work for less to win those bids.
The full extent of this 'gig nursing' is unknown.

NEW📰: Since 2016, US hospitals have integrated "gig" nurses.
@KatieJWells & @fundaustek interviewed 29 "gig" nurses & nursing assistants. They find that these on-demand nursing firms reinforce and exacerbate existing issues in the health-care industry. rooseveltinstitute.org/publi…

Gig nursing apps don’t “fix” health care—they exploit workers and put patients at risk. Lower wages. Zero training. No accountability.

New @rooseveltinst report on the uber-fication of nursing from @KatieJWells out today. It’s horrifying:
Gig nursing apps are charging workers exorbitant fees, forcing them to continue working when hurt on the job or for 20 hour shifts—withholding pay/future shifts if they don’t.
