Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) - Acute - up to $20/hr

$20 per hour

Shiftkey, LLC

Job Description

Job Description

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

If you're tired of having little control over your schedule or want the flexibility to earn on your terms, flexible acute CNA shifts as an independent contractor could be exactly what you're looking for.

Independent certified nursing assistants like you use ShiftKey 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 Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) 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 CNA)
  • Intensive Care (ICU / CCU CNA)
  • Labor & Delivery (LnD)
  • Medical-Surgical (MedSurg CNA)
  • 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.

Find the right environment: Flexible acute CNA 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.)

Requirements:

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

What you may do:

You know how essential certified nursing assistants are to acute care teams. Your work supports patient comfort, dignity, and recovery—often in moments that matter most.

Depending on the shift, you may:

  • Prepare rooms for patient admissions
  • Assist patients with activities of daily living
  • Record vital signs and document patient needs for the nurse on duty
  • Support nursing teams to help ensure consistent, high-quality care
What CNAs using ShiftKey have to say about us:

“Before ShiftKey, I had to work shorter hours at my full-time job due to school schedules, and the check was just not enough in the end. Using the ShiftKey app has really made it possible to do what works for me, and I love it.” - Kimbria, CNA

“ShiftKey has made it easy for me to work days that fit my home schedule. I'm not obligated to work unless I want to. I love that I can work the days and weekends I decide to work. With my family living in another city, ShiftKey makes it easy to see them while picking up near shifts.” - Antonia, CNA

“I thought going to nursing school and raising four children meant having a job was nearly impossible. Then I found the ShiftKey app. It has been a lifesaver in bringing in extra cash.” - Lakyn, CNA

*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).
