Closed-toe athletic or nursing shoes are mandatory.

ShiftMed Attendance Policy & Expectations
Clocking in and out:
You are required to clock in and out for every shift using the ShiftMed app.
Missed Punches:
If you are unable to use the app, you must promptly request a missed punch form from the Care Team to correct your time.
Cancelling a Shift:
If you need to cancel a shift, you must report it in the ShiftMed app.
Attendance Expectations:
While ShiftMed operates as an “on-demand” or “PRN” platform and may categorize attendance events - such as call-outs, cancellations, and unscheduled shifts - using a weighted system (see more details here), our hospital partners maintain high attendance expectations and may consider any change to a claimed shift to be an attendance violation.
Failure to adhere to these procedures, or patterns of excessive lateness or cancellations, may impact your future shift opportunities at all LCMC facilities.
