Understanding Nurse Matching

Great Match – Verified experience in the required specialty within the last three years.

Good Match – Experience in a closely related specialty area within the last 3 years.

No Match – Nurses can apply to any shifts, sometimes you just need an extra set of hands.

How to Edit a Shift

Vacant Shifts
You can edit a vacant shift at any time, as long as there are no applicants. Simply click the pencil icon and update the required fields.

Shifts with Applicants
If a shift has applicants and needs to be updated, either contact your Account Manager or reach out to the nurse directly to discuss any necessary changes. The nurse’s contact number is available on their application card.

Booked Shifts
Departments can be updated up to 48 hours before the shift’s start time. Click the pencil icon to make changes.
To amend the shift time, contact the nurse directly - the updated time can be recorded during timesheet sign-off.

How to Cancel a Booked Shift

We get it, sometimes demand changes and you no longer require a booked nurse. To cancel simply:
  1. Open the Schedule page.

  2. Locate the relevant shift.

  3. Click Cancel.

  4. (Optional) Add a custom message for the nurse and confirm the cancellation.

⚠️ Be mindful of cancellation timeframes to avoid cancellation fees. uPaged follows the Nurses Award - shifts cancelled within 2 hours of the start time will mean the nurse will be paid for 2 hours.
