Obviously, eJane is very different than the traditional agency staffing relationship. One difference is the status of eJane travel nurses. For the most part, the travel nurse will function in an “independent contractor” role, pretty much as defined by federal employment guidelines.
What is different from hiring an independent contractor travel nurse than hiring an employee [...]
As a member of eJane, the travel nurse will more than likely assume the role of an “independent contractor.”
According to federal employment guidelines, this means you are self employed. It means you are not employed by eJane or the healthcare provider you contract with. You will have to obtain your own professional liability insurance, which [...]
Negotiation–All terms of the contract need to be agreed upon between the healthcare provider and the travel nurse such as: hourly rate, start and end dates, shift(s), housing and/or travel reimbursements, bonuses, overtime pay, time off, etc. When the travel nurse applies for an engagement, negotiation begins and continues back and forth until both the [...]
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 [...]
For too long, the temporary healthcare staffing industry has been using costly methods to meet the staffing needs of healthcare providers. As internet technology integrates into more business applications, the founders of eJane have envisioned and created an innovative, new approach.
The result is a direct business-to-business link between the provider and the professional, utilizing internet [...]
The heart of eJane is the relationship it creates between the travel nurse and the healthcare provider. The best way to describe it is …. “direct.”
eJane is not an agency. We are a web=based application that allows the travel nurse and healthcare provider to negotiate directly. Our specific responsibilities (and liabilities) can be found in [...]
This will begin a series of blogs which are specific to eJane. We will describe what eJane is, how it can be used, how it will benefit both the travel nurse and healthcare provider and how to negotiate terms of the contract.
This series will include the following topics:
The Company
The Travel Nurse and Healthcare Provider [...]
eJane members are responsible for all components of an engagement. These responsibilities are clearly covered in eJane’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. It is important that all eJane members read and familiarize themselves with these conditions.
One important responsibility is professional liability insurance. This type of insurance is available to any nurse who is in [...]
Apartments.com is a good place to start when looking for your own housing as an independent contractor travel nurse. For instance, eJane.com has travel nurse openings in Virginia Beach, Virginia so I thought I’d find out what kind of housing is available in that area. I went to the Apartments.com website and clicked on the [...]
This was our first time as an exhibitor at the ASHHRA’s (American Society for Healthcare Human Resource Administration) 44th Annual Conference & Exposition in Austin, Texas. Most attendees were corporate level Human Resource VPs and Directors. We were pleasantly surprised that nearly all the healthcare providers we spoke with were almost as excited as we [...]
If you’ve read through some of our previous blogs, you’re familiar with eJane. Specifically that eJane.com is a website where independent contractor travel nurses can find open engagements posted by healthcare providers and negotiate directly. In my previous blog I recommend that nurses have at least one year experience in one location before taking their [...]
I recently received an inquiry from a radiology technician as to traveling after graduation as opposed to getting 1 to 2 years experience before looking into a travel assignment. There was mention of an article which you might find enlightening if you are a therapist, technologist or technician that appeared in the Healthcare Traveler (March 2008) entitled “Traveling after graduation: [...]
The newest approach to providing temporary nursing staff for healthcare providers just became available on the internet — eJane.com. This website is used by both the travel nurse and the healthcare provider. The healthcare provider posts engagement details for nursing positions they have a need for and, after completing a “Quality Portfolio,” the travel nurse [...]
