Paid sick leave accrues under New York law, and professional liability insurance covers every shift. Fingerprinting, immunizations, screening, and license verification are arranged and paid for by CLFC. Scheduling is managed through the BRIDGE App, where the nurse can review confirmed schedules and accept added or changed hours. The app also stores license and certification information and provides expiration reminders. A Program Manager is available for scheduling and pay questions.
