We started Nexacare because staffing a hospital shouldn’t feel like ordering off a vendor catalog. It should feel like calling a colleague who already knows your floor, your shifts, your people. We run four service lines, but it’s the same team behind every one of them.
Typical turnaround on open shift requests
Nurses who stay through their full assignment
R4 Healthcare handles nurse staffing solutions the way a strong charge nurse handles a shift: steady, prepared, and already thinking a step ahead. As a nursing agency serving hospitals, we help cover registered nurse staffing needs as well as licensed practical nurse and certified nursing assistant roles. Every clinician is license-verified before ever stepping onto your floor.
Every license and background check cleared before day one.
Matched to your unit type, not just your job title.
A dedicated contact who picks up when shifts change.
Most per-shift nursing requests are filled within 48 hours, often faster for common license types like RN and LPN in major metro areas. For ongoing or specialty roles, timelines depend on credentialing requirements specific to your state and facility.
Yes. Our registered nurse staffing pool includes nurses experienced in ICU, ER, med-surg, L&D, and other specialty units, not just general floor coverage. We match based on unit experience, not only license level.
Therapy and technical disciplines covered
Allied health requests matched on the first submission
Nursing gaps get noticed fast. Allied health gaps quietly back up everything else: discharge, diagnostics, therapy schedules. Our allied health staffing solutions cover therapy staffing across PT, OT, and speech, plus healthcare technical staffing for lab, imaging, and surgical tech roles, so the rest of the hospital keeps moving.
Therapy and technical roles, not just one discipline.
Placed where your specific department actually needs help.
Credentialed to the same standard as every nursing hire.
We support a broad mix of allied health hiring needs, from physical, occupational, and speech therapists to lab techs, radiology techs, and surgical techs. If the position plays a hands-on role in patient care outside of nursing, it’s very likely something we can help you fill.
A lot of the time, yes. Short-term and per diem needs can often move quickly, especially when the role is more straightforward from a credentialing standpoint. Some therapy positions do take a little longer, mainly when state licensing has to be verified, but we move as quickly as the compliance process allows.
Average time to first candidate options
Travel contracts extended at facility request
Some gaps need to be solved by the next morning. Others need solving for the next thirteen weeks. Travel nurse staffing connects you with clinicians ready for extended assignments, while per diem nurse staffing fills single shifts fast. Unlike travel nurse staffing companies that vanish after placement, we stay on through the assignment.
Long-term contracts and single-shift coverage, same network.
We manage the assignment, not just the placement.
The same point person from request through renewal.
Travel nurse staffing is the right fit when you need coverage for a longer stretch, often eight to thirteen weeks. Per diem staffing is more about immediate flexibility, whether that means covering a single shift, plugging a last-minute hole, or bringing in local nurses who can jump in fast.
Many travel nurse staffing companies hand off once a contract starts. We stay involved for the life of the assignment, managing renewals, performance check-ins, and any adjustments directly with your facility and the clinician.
Permanent placements still in role after twelve months
Average time from search start to signed offer
At some point, covering a gap stops being the answer, and closing it becomes the goal. Permanent healthcare staffing at R4 Healthcare goes beyond credentials to retention fit. Our permanent medical staffing recruiters evaluate culture and growth trajectory, and our permanent healthcare recruitment process is built to reduce time-to-fill without cutting corners.
Evaluated for culture and longevity, not just credentials.
Sourcing through offer negotiation, handled end-to-end.
Less time spent refilling the same role next year.
Contingent staffing is meant to solve the problem. For example, a schedule gap, a leave, a census spike, or an urgent need for coverage. Permanent placement takes a different approach. The goal there isn’t just to fill the opening quickly, but to find someone who makes sense for the role, the team, and the long haul.
Our permanent healthcare recruitment process covers the full hiring cycle, including sourcing, screening, interview coordination, and offer-stage support. By the time candidates reach your desk, they’ve already been carefully vetted for both the role itself and the kind of environment you’re hiring into, which saves your team time and makes the process far more manageable.
Every service line above runs on the same three commitments.
From a single open shift to department-wide support, every conversation starts in the same place: you tell us what’s missing, and we’ll tell you how quickly we can get to work.
From hiring tips to career moves, we send only what is worth your time.
