REGISTER AND LOG IN

How do I register/open an account?
You can register from any area of the site. Simply click the Register link in the upper right corner and follow instructions. Registration is a one-time process. Afterwards, when you come back to the site, just log in with your email and password.

Why do I need to register?
For Nurses, registration allows you to apply to jobs, comment on articles, and participate in forums. It also allows you to manage your account—store resumes and passwords, save jobs that are interesting, store application history, create a library of Working Nurse articles, save forum threads, and update your password and personal profile.

For Nurse Recruiters, registration allows you to post jobs, purchase credits, manage job postings (store, renew, delete) and applicant history, upgrade your  account with a customized banner, and update your password and company profile.

When I come back to the site, do I need to register again?
No, simply log in with your email and password.

I forgot my password…
Click on the Forget Your Password? link on the log in page. Enter your email address and your password will be sent to you within minutes.

POSTING A JOB

How do I post a job?
Simply click on the Post A Job tab and fill out the fields. If you haven’t logged in, you will be prompted to do so prior to posting your job. You can pay for your jobs with a credit card when you check out, or use your existing credits.

How much does it cost to post a job?
$175 per individual job, which is live on the site for 30 days after it is posted.
$1,200 for a 25-job package. The package lasts for 30 days, during which time any of the 25 jobs can be posted. Each job has its own expiration of 30 days.

When my package expires, will all the jobs on the site expire?
Probably not, unless you posted all 25 on the first day. The package expires 30 days after purchasing, but each job within the package has its own 30-day life. For example, if you post a job on day five, it will expire 35 days after you bought the package. If you post on day 22, it will expire 52 days after initially purchasing the package. If you post on day 31, you can’t—the package will have expired.

What are Credits?
Credits are used to purchase jobs. Credits can be purchased through My Working Nurse and stored until you need them. Credits don’t expire until you post a job.

Why would I buy Credits in advance?
Busy Nurse Recruiters may want to purchase credits ahead of time so when a job order comes in, they are ready to go and don’t need to track down approval or the company credit card.

What is an individual job?
Individual jobs are $175 each and expire after 30 days. You will get a renewal notice 48 hours before the job is set to expire. 

When should I buy a package?
If you have more than 5 jobs to post within a given month, you may want to purchase a package which gives you up to 25 listings. The package lasts for 30 days, during which time any of the 25 jobs can be posted. Each job has its own expiration of 30 days. You will not receive an expiration notice for each job within the package, just for the package itself.

Why do some jobs have a graphic at the top and others don’t?
For a flat fee of $150, a header graphic can be added to each of your postings. It’s easy. Go to My Working Nurse and select Upgrade Account. After paying for the upgrade, you can upload your own banner.

MANAGING JOBS AND APPLICANTS

Is there a way to keep track of my job postings?
Yes. Under My Working Nurse, click on Job Listings. You will be shown a list of your current jobs, along with dates posted and expiration dates. Here you can decide whether to Renew, Edit, Store or Delete each job. After jobs expire, they automatically go into the Stored section.

What does it mean to renew the job?
Renew your job if that position is still open at the time of expiration and you wish to run it again for 30 days. Clicking on the Renew Button takes you to a checkout page with the job information already filled in. Make changes if needed and check out.

When would I edit a job?
Ever post a job, then a week later remember some key information? It’s easy to add or delete from your job description by clicking the Edit key. Your changes will go live on the site immediately. This function does not affect the expiration of the job.

When should I store a job?
All jobs that expire are automatically moved into the Store section until you choose to delete them. You may choose to manually store a job before it expires if you’ve filled the position and don’t wish to receive more resumes. The Store feature is really wonderful—It allows you to keep a record of all the jobs you’ve ever posted on this site. 

Delete?
If you’ve filled your position and are unlikely to need it again, you may want to delete it from the site.

Can I keep track of applicants?
Absolutely. Under My Working Nurse, select Applicant History. It will take you to a list of your jobs, both live on the site and stored. Click on that number under the Applicants column, which takes you to a list with each applicant’s name, date applied, their cover letter, resume and email address. These applicants will stay in this section until you delete them or delete the job.

MANAGING OUR COMPANY ACCOUNT

How can I edit my company profile?
Simply log into your account using your e-mail address and password and go to My Working Nurse.You will be able to change all your company information here.

Help! The former Nurse Recruiter left and I need resumes sent to my email address not his.
No problem. Go to My Working Nurse and click on My Company’s Profile. All changes, including email addresses, can be made there.

What do I get when I upgrade my account?
You get a header graphic which appears on each of your job listings. This can be an image of your facility or some other branding graphic you wish you use to attract applicants. This is a very good value. For a one-time flat fee of $150, it will apply to all job listings.

What size should my banner be?
The exact image is 657 pixels wide, 260 pixels tall. However, when you upload an image, the system will automatically resize any file that is less than 2 MB, as long as it’s at least 657 pixels wide. Ideally the image should have a resolution of 72-dpi, in a GIF, JPG or PNG file. Questions on any of this? We’re here to help.

Can I save a job and apply later?
Sure. Click the Save Job button on the upper right side of each job. Then go to My Working Nurse and you will see a list of all your saved jobs. Clicking on the title will take you to the job.

Does the site track the jobs I’ve applied to?

I’ve never participated in a forum
Why not give it a try. Click on the tab and see if there are any conversation threads that you find appealing. In our experience, nurses love to blog. 

I want to join the WorkingNurse.com Forum, but I don’t want to use my real name.
We’ve structured it so that only your first name and last initial shows. Or there is an option in My Working Nurse to choose a nickname.

What is an avatar?

Click on his or her name, which will take you to a profile and all their recent posts. Beyond that, we need to protect the privacy of all our users.

Where do I create my profile?
