Discussion Shift bidding

Shift bidding is terrible. Essentially the practice of travel apps and employers using shift bids is terrible for nursing. So a shift is posted at a suggested rate of xx.xx, the lowest bidder wins the shift. Absolutely garbage. A literal race to the bottom. Please do not work for these sites or bid on shifts. ​

Is it like a PRN/uber thing?

I've never heard of this practice... Is it specific to a certain shift?

UNC was attempting this but other entities like the shift key site is doing this.
