Transitioning from Part-time to Full-time at Nourish

Thinking about going full-time with Nourish? This guide walks through what full-time status looks like, why many RDs make the transition, and exactly how to get started.

Moving from part-time to full-time unlocks more than just additional hours—it’s about building a sustainable, predictable, and supported practice.

📈 Increased & More Predictable Earnings

Going full-time gives you the opportunity to build a steadier schedule and increase your weekly sessions, resulting in higher, more predictable income—without sacrificing flexibility.

🌟 Enhanced Benefits

As a full-time provider, you’ll have access to benefits designed to support your health, finances, and time off—including medical, dental, and vision coverage, FSA and HSA options, voluntary life and disability insurance, and more PTO that grows with your increased caseload.

🤝 Deeper Partnership with Nourish

As a full-time provider, you’ll have the time and bandwidth to fully engage with Nourish’s clinical community. That means participating in guest speaker events, case reviews, and continuing education sessions—helping you grow your skills, connect with peers, and get the most out of your full-time experience.

🌱 Long-Term Growth & Stability

Going full-time lets you build your ideal practice on a stable platform, enjoy more reliable income, grow professionally, and make a bigger impact with your clients—all while maintaining the flexibility you value most.

Full-time may be a great next step if you:

• Are consistently filling (or close to filling) your current availability

• Want to increase your weekly hours and income

• Are looking for more consistency in your schedule

• Enjoy building longer-term relationships with clients on Nourish

• Want to fully engage with Nourish’s clinical community and learning opportunities

• Are interested in developing your skills and growing your practice in a structured, supported environment

• Want to maintain flexibility while committing to a predictable, sustainable schedule

Not sure yet? That’s okay—our team is here to help you explore whether full-time is the right fit for your goals. Submit the Full-Time Interest Form or reach out to your Clinical Quality Manager to start the conversation.

Full-time at Nourish gives you flexibility while rewarding your commitment, with two tiers based on your weekly caseload so you can grow your practice on your terms.

The Core Benefits Tier is a great first step if you’re ready to increase your hours and prioritize Nourish, while still maintaining flexibility.

In this tier, you:

• Average 15 or more sessions per week

• Enjoy a more predictable schedule compared with part-time availability

• Have access to medical, dental, and vision benefits, FSA and HSA options, and voluntary supplemental life and disability insurance

• Receive a quarterly allowance of $125 to spend on home office and technology needs

• Accrue more PTO hours annually than part-time peers —at 15+ sessions per week, you’ll earn 65+ hours of PTO per year (1 hour for every 12 sessions completed).

This tier is often a natural first step for RDs transitioning from part-time to full-time.

The Enhanced Benefits Tier is ideal if you’re ready to fully commit to Nourish, maximize earnings, and take full advantage of our support and resources.

In this tier, you:

• Average 25 or more sessions per week

• Maintain a larger, more consistent caseload

• Experience higher income stability and scheduling efficiency

• Receive a quarterly allowance of $125 to spend on home office and technology needs

• Enjoy discounted premiums for medical, dental, and vision benefits, plus FSA and HSA options and voluntary supplemental life and disability insurance

• Accrue even more PTO annually thanks to your higher weekly hours — at 25+ sessions per week, you’ll earn 108+ hours of PTO per year (1 hour for every 12 sessions completed).

This tier is designed for RDs seeking a long-term, sustainable model for building their practice with Nourish.
