New grad RN struggles to find part-time or per diem nursing work that allows flexible scheduling to accommodate online RN-BSN education.

Hospital systems do not offer truly flexible per diem or part-time positions; they impose minimum shift requirements, limited availability windows, or on-call expectations that restrict the ability to work multiple jobs or control one's schedule.

App Concept

ShiftFlex Nurse

A mobile app that matches nurses with per diem shifts across multiple healthcare facilities based on their real-time availability. Unlike traditional per diem pools, ShiftFlex lets nurses set their own schedule (down to single shifts), pick up last-minute openings, and work at multiple locations without a minimum commitment. Facilities get reliable staffing without the overhead of managing their own pool.

Key Features

Real-time shift marketplace: nurses browse and claim shifts from multiple hospitals/clinics
Calendar synchronization: sync with personal and school calendars to block out study time
No minimum shift requirements: pick up as few or as many shifts as you want
Instant credentialing: pre-verified credentials allow quick onboarding at multiple facilities
Automatic pay calculation and direct deposit for each shift worked

Target Users: New grad and experienced nurses seeking part-time or per diem work in the healthcare industry, particularly those pursuing further education or managing multiple jobs.

Revenue Model: Percentage fee (e.g., 15%) on each shift payment from facilities; $9.99/mo premium subscription for priority shift alerts and faster credentialing.
