Urgent shifts are shifts that another nurse has called out of. Urgent shifts may be regular shifts (requiring a confirmation from facility) or instant book shifts (no confirmation required).

Can I update my urgent shift alerts?

Yes, you can update the distance in the settings of the ESHYFT for Nurses app.

  • Under the "MORE" tab of the app, select the "MY ESHYFT" section.

  • Tap on "NOTIFICATION SETTINGS," and scroll to "NEARBY SHIFT ALERTS" either under "PUSH NOTIFICATIONS" or "EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS."

  • You will find the distance slider and you can adjust the distance to be as close as 1 mile away and as far as 100 miles away.

Can I turn off urgent shift push notifications and email alerts?

Yes, if you do not want to see urgent shifts near you, you can turn this setting off.

  • Under the "MORE" tab of the app, select the "MY ESHYFT" section.

  • Tap on "NOTIFICATION SETTINGS," and scroll to "NEARBY SHIFT ALERTS" either under "PUSH NOTIFICATIONS" or "EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS."
