Acute Care Staffing
ED, ICU, and Med/Surg RNs — verified to Joint Commission-ready standards and matched to your unit before the shift ever opens.
The acute-care problem
Census and acuity spike faster than recruiters can respond.
High-acuity units can't accept clinicians who aren't survey-ready on day one.
Layered vendor fees inflate cost per fill with little transparency.
Unsafe ratios drive turnover, which drives more open shifts.

Getting started
We learn your units, specialties, acuity mix, and the credentialing standards your facility requires.
Your compliance requirements are loaded into VitalStaf so every clinician is screened against them automatically.
Create an open shift or contract in minutes and start reviewing cleared, matched RNs.
Set orientation dates, schedule interviews, and track readiness from a single dashboard.
Clinicians submit digital timesheets; you approve hours and resolve any discrepancies in-app.
Re-book trusted RNs with one tap and expand to more units as needs grow.
Common questions
Because clinicians are pre-verified before they reach your dashboard, eligible shifts can be filled as quickly as one day. Speed depends on specialty, location, and how specific your credentialing criteria are — your VitalStaf contact will give you a realistic estimate for your units on the discovery call.
You upload your facility's compliance criteria once. Our team verifies every clinician in the pool against those standards, so the candidates you review are already screened to what your hospital requires — built to support Joint Commission readiness.
A no-show is escalated immediately and we work to re-fill from the verified pool. Real-time alerts keep your staffing office informed so you are never discovering a gap at the start of a shift.
Confirm exact no-show policy & SLA
VitalStaf uses a transparent markup with no hidden recruiter fees, so your cost per fill is predictable. It is designed to come in below typical layered MSP arrangements.
