INTRODUCTION:  eJane utilizes standard industry terms.  Sometimes, however, these terms take on a special significance relative to eJane.  This blog highlights these exceptions.

Engagement–The healthcare provider posts an “engagement” for temporary nurse staffing which includes the position name, location, start date, end date, whether or not it is a temp-to-perm position, hourly rate, reimbursements, requirements (drug test, ppd test, background check), shifts, full listing (narrative job specification) and public comments (general comments pertaining to the healthcare facility or its location).

Temp-to-perm position–The original job is for a temporary travel nurse position, but may become a permanent staff position if mutually agreed.  eJane does not charge an additional fee for this transition.

Healthcare Provider–A hospital or healthcare facility that posts engagements for temporary nurse staffing needs. 

Primary Contact–The healthcare provider contact that will receive the billing for themselves and Users without billing.

Locations–The physical site of the engagement posting.

Users–Divided into two groups:  (1) with billing or (2) without billing.   A ‘Location’ must be established before a User can be designated.

Independent contractor travel nurse–A travel nurse with eJane is an independent contractor.  They are not employees of the healthcare provider or employees of eJane (please refer to Terms of Use).  Therefore, they pay and file their own federal and state income taxes, obtain their own health/dental/life insurance, maintain professional liability insurance, and obtain and furnish their own housing.  As an independent contractor, the travel nurse is able to deduct many expenses in the same way as other self employed people (housing expenses, office expenses, vehicle expenses/depreciation, travel expenses, meals/lodging expenses, etc.).
