PACU / Recovery RN

Shiftkey, LLC

Take control of your career: Build your RN schedule around your life

If you're tired of having little say over your schedule or simply want to earn extra income on your terms, flexible acute RN shifts as an independent contractor could be exactly what you're looking for.

ShiftKey helps independent registered nurses like you to connect with a nationwide network of hospitals. You bid on the shifts that match your preferences, and you choose your rate.

Independent opportunities are available for Registered Nurses (RNs) across a wide variety of acute care settings, including Level I–IV trauma centers, community health systems, surgical centers, and outpatient facilities.

Primary Specialty Units:

  • Emergency Room (ER / ED RN)
  • Intensive Care (ICU / CCU RN)
  • Labor & Delivery (LnD)
  • Medical-Surgical (MedSurg RN)
  • Operating Room (OR / Perioperative RN)
  • PACU / Recovery
  • Postpartum / Mother Baby Unit
  • Psychiatry
  • Telemetry / Progressive Care (PCU)

Choose the hospitals you want. Pick the days you want. Set the rate you want.

Whether you're looking for extra income, better work/life balance or more control over when you work, ShiftKey gives you the freedom to:

Take control of your schedule: Skip night shifts, keep your Mondays free, keep time open for school pick up. You work only when it makes sense for you.

Earn on your terms: Use ShiftKey to earn extra income, even if you have another job. You can get paid instantly through ShiftKey Wallet,* have instant payments sent to an existing debit card,** or opt for direct deposit.

Explore different hospitals: Flexible acute RN shifts give you the opportunity to experience a variety of hospital settings and choose what works best for you.

Because you're an independent contractor professional, you can also access and purchase portable benefits through our partner, Stride Health. That includes options for:

  • Medical
  • Dental
  • Vision
  • Life Insurance

(Insurance is provided through Stride Health. ShiftKey does not offer health, dental, vision or life insurance.)

Role Requirements:

  • A high school diploma or GED
  • A valid RN license in the state of TX

What you may do:

As a registered nurse working flexible acute shifts, your skills and experience keep patients and hospitals moving forward . Tasks may include:

  • Performing and interpreting diagnostic tests
  • Preparing patients for procedures
  • Administering medications
  • Documenting medical records
  • Supporting patients and families with care guidance

What RNs using ShiftKey have to say about us:

"My life is mine now. I get to actually do what I want to do versus being kind of chained to the system of a career." - Tessa, RN

“Before learning about ShiftKey, I was looking for a full-time position after moving to a new area, as well as looking into contract jobs. After the first few shifts found using the ShiftKey app, I was hooked.” - Rene, RN

“I'm a single mother of a 3 year old. I'm now able to work days that accommodate my hectic life, I can work weekends when I want to, and I get to spend most holidays with my son. Best of all — I can afford to do these things now!” - Molly, RN

*Timing of payments may vary based on invoice approvals and are subject to a $2.95 fee per payment from ShiftKey. Manual review of an invoice usually takes <24 hours but can take up to a week. Once your invoice is approved, we can start processing your payment.

**Timing of payments directly to an external debit card may vary based on invoice approvals and are subject to a 2% fee of the total payment ($2.99 minimum fee).
