Hospitals can't fill nursing positions. There's a big shortage atm. These services incentivize temps to fill the gap. It's in the hospitals interests to hire FT staff but they simply can't. They have to use staffing services or they'll have a bad time. The "just staff more on Friday nights" is a simplistic take. They would if they could. Every major hospital will have a traveler on any floor at anytime, don't make ShiftKey, Clipboard the bogeyman.
