3 Reasons Nightingale Nurses and GPs Are Paid More
One of the most compelling reasons to sign up to Nightingale is that Nightingale nurses and GPs are paid more.
Up to 20% more, in fact. A significant, not-to-be-sniffed-at chunk.
It sounds like a con, we know. But it isn’t. So...how do we manage it?
We could tell you all about our values and our ethos and why we think it’s really important that talented healthcare professionals are challenged, fulfilled and ultimately rewarded for the work they do - but actually, that’s a whole other blog post. Here, we’ll keep it nice and clear: so how do we manage to pay Nightingale nurses more?
Three simple reasons. Ready? Let’s go.
1. Transparency
At Nightingale, we like things to be transparent. There’s no secrecy and no dirty dealing, and certainly no playing employers or nurses off against each other.
In fact, we do the exact opposite of what agencies do - rather than keeping employer and nurse at arm’s length from each other, we encourage you to talk. To discuss options and preferences. To agree a rate that works for both parties.
And how can we do that? Well, with Nightingale there’s no commission-hungry sales shark looking for his or her next deal. Just two healthcare professionals having a grown-up conversation and reaching an agreement that’s mutually beneficial - oh, and did we mention it’s a much better agreement than either party would reach using an agency recruiter?
2. Ease
OK, so we cut operational costs by cutting out the middle-man (or middle-woman) and all of the associated extortionate agency fees.
But that’s not all.
Nightingale is an online platform. Everything about it is designed for simplicity and ease of use.
And because we empower our users to take matters into their own hands and manage things remotely from their mobile phone, laptop or device, it saves expensive administration and processing time.
Plus there’s no paper and therefore no faxing, posting, printing etc to eat up time and increase cost.
3. No middle-man
So we cut out the middle-man - the dead-eyed salesperson after a juicy percentage of your wages - yes, we’ve already mentioned this.
However, what we didn’t say is that Nightingale is built on a community of healthcare professionals who want to provide the best possible service at sustainable rates. This means:
Our clients make huge financial savings - up to 40% less than using an agency - keeping resources where they’re most needed , i.e. for your healthcare services and your patients.
Our nurses and GPs receive 100% of the agreed rate - up to 20% more than working via an agency.
So what are you waiting for? Join Nightingale, the online marketplace where healthcare professionals find the work they want and clients can fill their vacancy shifts without having to pay exploitative fees and commissions.
We empower nurses, GPs and other healthcare professions to choose the shifts they want and negotiate their rate - and guess what? Flexibility, ease and transparency pays off. Our nurses earn up to 20% more than they would with a nursing agency and our clients save up to 40% on temporary staff costs. Find out more here.
