How it works

From application to bedside, fully supported.

Four steps. Each one designed so a working student can finish it without guessing what's next. We tell you what's required, when, and we handle the paperwork around it.

  1. 01Apply

    A short, real application.

    Tell us who you are, where you are on your pre-health path, and why this matters to you. No fee. No prerequisites. We accept on a rolling basis and reply to every applicant.

    • Free online application, around 20 minutes
    • Brief written response prompts, not a resume dump
    • Decisions usually within two weeks
  2. 02Get selected and cleared

    Interview, then onboarding paperwork we walk you through.

    Selected applicants meet a program manager for a short interview. From there, your dashboard guides you through hospital clearance: background check, health screening, immunizations, and BLS certification. We tell you what to do next and remind you before things expire.

    • Structured interview focused on care, follow-through, and fit
    • Clearance checklist with status, due dates, and reminders
    • Document upload, no fax machines, no binders
  3. 03Train

    Hands-on training before you touch a patient.

    You complete HIPAA and safety modules online, then attend in-person orientation on the unit. You'll learn vitals, transfers, infection control, and how the care team communicates. You don't start a shift until your supervising team agrees you're ready.

    • HIPAA, bloodborne pathogens, and safety modules
    • In-person orientation on the units you'll rotate through
    • Skills check-off signed by a supervising clinician
  4. 04Start your shifts and log hours

    Pick shifts from your phone. Hours verified on the spot.

    Open shifts appear in your dashboard. Claim what fits your week. At the start of each shift you check in with a QR code on the unit. At the end, your supervisor signs off your hours, and they post to your verified record immediately.

    • Self-scheduled shifts, claim and drop from your phone
    • QR check-in and supervisor sign-off, no spreadsheets
    • Verified hour report and completion certificate ready to export
