You’re tired. Not bedside-burned-out tired — system tired. Mandatory OT, floating to units you didn’t sign up for, “productivity” metrics that ignore the patient who actually needs you, a step grid that caps what you can earn no matter how good you are. CaraLoom isn’t another hospital. It’s a private-duty marketplace where one family hires one RN. You take a single patient — post-op, complex chronic, palliative, pediatric — and you actually get to nurse. You set your hourly rate. You pick the case. You publish your hours. No on-call. No floating. Funds settle in 1–2 days.
Because most private-duty is cash-pay, LTC insurance, VA, or Medicaid waiver — not Medicare — you keep 88–95% of what you charge.
No agency markup. No insurance billing overhead unless you opt-in. No chasing checks.
Funds settle to your bank 1–2 business days after the note is signed. Pro / Pro+ unlock instant payouts (1.5 % fee).
$35–$75/hour in most US markets; $60–$120/hour for high-acuity / pediatric vent-trach. Typically 1.5–2.5× a hospital med-surg W-2 hourly rate after platform fees.
Illustrative range
30 cash-pay hours/wk × $55 = $6,600/mo gross; Pro keeps ~$6,072/mo.
Illustrative range
Recurring shifts with the same family are the default — you build patient continuity, not a per-diem treadmill.
