Clipboard checks every license and certification before a nurse can pick up your shift, then tracks each expiry date after that.
Track documentation status per nurse and recall anyone who has not finished.
Clipboard offers your shifts first to nurses who already know your building, so familiar faces come back with nothing for you to arrange.
Take on anyone you have worked with. No placement fee, no conversion fee.

All of the nurses have been absolutely amazing, and we could not do what we do today without them. All of the nurses I would allow to take care of my mom.

I like how fast I can find and accept jobs, and the process is smooth and reliable. It’s very helpful for CNAs who want control over their schedule.

What Is the Clipboard Nurse Staffing App?
The Clipboard nurse staffing app connects nurses who want shifts with facilities that need them covered. RNs, LPNs and LVNs use the Clipboard Workers App to find and pick up shifts. Facilities use the Clipboard Facilities App to post them.
Open shifts near you can be viewed in the Clipboard Workers App with the facility, the hours and the rate, so you can decide before you commit. Once you pick a shift up, it’s yours, with no approval step from the facility. You upload your license and certifications once, and the Clipboard app reminds you before any of them expire.
For a facility, a nursing gap goes out as one post to credentialed nurses nearby instead of a round of calls to an agency. There’s no recruiter in the middle and no long-term contract. Facilities pay for shifts that get covered, and nothing is charged until the shift is worked. More than 6.5K facilities and 1M professionals use Clipboard across the US.
Often, yes. Clipboard offers a facility’s shifts first to nurses who have worked there before, and more than 85% of shifts go to someone the building has worked with. For nurses, that can lead back to units where you already know the staff and the routine.
If you’re a nurse looking for shifts, download the Clipboard Workers App. If you schedule nurses for a facility, download the Clipboard Facilities App. You only need one, and in the app stores they’re listed as ‘Clipboard - Workers’ and ‘Clipboard - Post Shifts’.

What Our Expert Says
The nursing shortage usually shows up as open shifts at the hardest times to fill: weekends, holidays and flu season. No single fix closes that gap, so it helps to combine a few. Keep the nurses you have with predictable schedules and time off they can count on. Cross-train staff so one call-out doesn’t leave a unit short. Then keep a flexible bench for the gaps that remain. The Clipboard app gives facilities that bench with no long-term contract: a shift posted in the Clipboard Facilities App reaches credentialed nurses nearby, and 95% of shifts get covered when posted a day in advance.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Clipboard Workers App. Nurses use it to pick up per diem shifts at facilities nearby, with the rate and location shown before they commit. Facilities post those shifts in the Clipboard Facilities App, so be sure to get the right app for your role.
RNs, LPNs and LVNs pick up most of the shifts posted. CNAs, certified home health aides, QMAPs, physical therapists, respiratory therapists, medical laboratory techs, and dental assistants and hygienists use the same app.
Long-term care and skilled nursing facilities, hospitals, hospice and infusion settings, and dental practices all post in the Clipboard app, most often to cover a call out or a gap at short notice.
95% of shifts get covered when posted a day in advance. A shift posted in the Clipboard app reaches matched nurses nearby straight away, though coverage also depends on the role, the rate, and how many nurses are active in that area.
Every license and certification is checked before a nurse can accept one of your nursing shifts, and expiry dates are tracked after that, so there is nothing for you to vet.
After the shift is clocked out and approved. You can cash out in minutes for a flat fee, or wait a few days and pay nothing. Every shift is itemized in the Clipboard app: gross, fees, and net.
No. Post one shift from the Clipboard app or a hundred. There is no minimum, no subscription, and no contract term, and you pay only for the shifts that get covered.
