For all Louisiana Healthcare Professionals (CNA, LPN, RN) joining the ShiftMed team, see below for steps to complete your background check.

LPN/RN:

  1. Once your SSN, Identification, Professional License and I-9 credentials are all verified by ShiftMed’s credentialing team, you will then be invited to complete your Background Check in the app.

    1. Eligible LPN/RNs must have an active license with no public orders or issues with abuse or neglect.

  2. Under the "Needs your attention" you will see Background Check -> Missing. Select the Background Check option, and follow the prompts on the screen.

  3. You must complete these forms in the app in order to continue your Background Check process.

  4. Once this form has been completed, ShiftMed will receive the results from CheckR within a few business days. Your profile will be updated with the results to complete your background check credential.

CNA:

  1. Once your SSN, Identification, Professional License and I-9 credentials are all verified by ShiftMed’s credentialing team, we will process and verify your license status.

    1. Eligible CNAs must have an active license with no public orders or issues with abuse or neglect.

  2. Please sign your LA State Police Internet BGC Authorization form in the app.

  3. Once the above documents have been verified, our credentialing team will manually initiate your State Police BGC.

Note: The ShiftMed app will notify you right away when you are available to start working.
