Frequently asked questions

Why is a shift schedule included in the offer letter?

Nursing facilities operate 24/7, and clear communication about shifts helps avoid scheduling conflicts and ensures adequate staffing levels, which is critical for resident care and regulatory compliance.

What contingencies are typically required for nursing home positions?

Common contingencies include background checks, drug screening, license verification, and tuberculosis (TB) testing. Some states also require fingerprinting or reference checks, especially for roles with direct resident contact.

Can I use this letter for per diem staff?

Yes, the tool allows you to select 'Per diem / PRN' as the employment type. The letter will then note that the position is as-needed, with no guaranteed hours, and benefits may not apply.
