Registered Nurse Recruiters

Permanent nurse recruiting is different from travel staffing: you are hiring for years, not weeks, so specialty depth and fit matter more than availability. MedStaff Nationwide recruits experienced registered nurses and nursing leaders for permanent roles nationwide.

What makes registered nurse (rn) hiring hard

Travel pay set expectations

Experienced RNs compare permanent offers to travel rates. We help you present stability, benefits, and growth as real value.

Specialty experience is non-negotiable

ICU, ED, OR, and psychiatric nursing each require specific experience. We verify it rather than trusting a resume line.

Leadership searches need a different pipeline

Nurse managers and directors are not found on job boards. We recruit them directly.

How we vet every registered nurse (rn)

  • Active RN license and Nurse Licensure Compact status verified
  • Specialty certifications (CCRN, CEN, PMH-BC, and others) confirmed
  • Unit experience and acuity level documented
  • Leadership experience and span of control verified for manager roles
  • Employment history and state board actions checked
  • References from nurse managers or directors

FAQ

Registered Nurse (RN) recruiting, answered

How much does it cost to hire registered nurses through MedStaff Nationwide?
We work on contingency: there is no retainer and no fee until your registered nurse starts. The placement fee is a percentage of first-year base compensation, agreed in writing before the search begins, and every placement carries a replacement guarantee.
How long does a registered nurse search take?
Our average time-to-fill across permanent clinical searches is 27 days from signed agreement to accepted offer. Registered nurses searches in competitive markets can run longer; your recruiter sets a realistic timeline during intake and reports against it weekly.
Do you provide travel or per diem nurses?
Our RN recruiting is focused on permanent, direct-hire placement. For temporary clinical coverage we offer locum tenens physicians and advanced practice providers.
What happens if the clinician leaves?
Every placement is covered by our replacement guarantee. If a placed clinician does not complete onboarding, we re-run the search at no additional cost. Our 12-month retention rate across placements is 96%.
