Why Freelance Nurses Choose Carewell

The shifts you want. The earnings you earn.

Traditional agency work clips your earnings, offers you little choice, and keeps you waiting by the phone. Carewell inverts that.

Earn the full posted rate

Carewell charges clinics a platform fee. You earn the complete rate the clinic posts, with no agency margin subtracted from your side.

Work on your own schedule

Mark the windows when you are available. The platform only sends you shift offers that fit those windows. You are never pushed into a shift that conflicts with your life.

Matched to your specialty

ICU, paediatrics, surgical ward, palliative care. Your credentials and specialisations determine which shifts you are offered. You are not thrown at gaps that do not match your training.

Verified clinics only

Every clinic on Carewell is onboarded and verified before they can post a shift. You know before you arrive what ward you are entering, what the shift entails, and what you will be paid.

Accept in one tap

Shift offers arrive with full details: ward type, shift window, rate, clinic location. Accept or decline from your phone. No phone tag, no contract forms for every single shift.

Automatic shift documentation

Every confirmed shift generates a digital record. Earnings summaries, shift history, and documentation for your invoicing are all in your dashboard without manual entry.

How It Works for Nurses

From profile to first shift in under a day

01

Build your nurse profile

Enter your SRK/ASI registration number, specialty certifications, language skills, and ward-type experience. The verification process takes less than 24 hours after you submit your credentials.

02

Set your availability

Mark which days and shift windows you are open to work. You can update this at any time. The platform uses your availability calendar to filter shift offers before they reach you.

03

Receive and accept shift offers

When a clinic posts a shift that fits your profile and availability, you receive a notification with full details. Review the clinic profile, the ward brief, and the rate. Accept or decline in one tap.

04

Show up, work, get paid

The shift confirmation includes ward contact details and any specific briefing notes from the clinic. After the shift, your earnings record is updated automatically in your Carewell dashboard.

Your Earnings

No agency cuts. Full transparency.

When you work through an agency, the clinic pays a blended rate that includes the agency's margin, often 18 to 25 percent above what you see. That margin does not reach you. On Carewell, the rate the clinic posts is the rate you earn. Carewell's fee is paid by the clinic on top, not sliced from your side.

The Standard nurse plan is free. The optional Verified badge costs CHF 9 per month and surfaces your profile higher in clinic searches, which typically translates to more shift offers for nurses who take unsocial-hours windows.

What Freelance Nurses Say

From nurses already on Carewell

"I had been doing freelance nursing through two agencies for three years. The difference in what I actually take home through Carewell versus what I was making through the agency is significant. I wish this had existed earlier."

Adriana M.
Intensive care nurse, Zurich - Carewell early access

"I have three young children so I can only work specific days. With agencies I was always being called about shifts I could not take. On Carewell I set my windows and I only hear about shifts I can actually consider."

NS
Nadia S.
Paediatric nurse, Basel - Carewell beta participant

"The fact that I can see the clinic profile before I confirm is something no agency ever offered me. I know the ward, the ward manager, what to expect. That matters when you are walking into a new environment at 6am."
