ShiftLock Facility Scorecard
ShiftLock Facility Scorecard
Every facility on ShiftLock is graded A through F based on verified post-shift reviews from nurses like you. Filter your broadcast offers by "Grade A shifts only" and work with confidence.
The Grading Scale
Grades are calculated from verified nurse reviews submitted after every shift — not self-reported by facilities.
Excellent
Safe ratios, break relief, honest postings, great support staff
Good
Minor issues only — mostly accurate postings, solid support
Acceptable
Some concerns — occasional staffing gaps or missing support
Below Average
Frequent issues — misleading postings, poor break coverage
Poor
Serious concerns — unsafe ratios, no break relief, high acuity hidden
Failing
Unsafe — verified reports of dangerous conditions, zero transparency

What Gets Scored
After every shift, nurses complete a Post-Shift Verification form. These are the categories that determine the grade.
Nurse-to-Patient Ratio
Was the posted ratio accurate? Were you responsible for more patients than advertised?
Break Relief
Was dedicated break relief provided? Could you actually take your breaks?
Patient Acuity
Was the acuity level accurate? Were patients sicker/more complex than stated?
Support Staff
Were the promised support staff (PSWs, clerks, techs) actually present on the unit?
Safety & Security
Was security available? Were there violence incidents? Was the environment safe?
Equipment & Supplies
Were necessary supplies and working equipment available on the unit?
Orientation & Onboarding
Were you properly oriented to the unit? Did you have access to EHR, codes, and protocols?
Management Responsiveness
When issues arose, did management respond promptly and supportively?
Overall Accuracy
Was the shift posting honest and accurate compared to what you experienced?
