Home / Specialties

Every specialty fills differently

A med-surg requisition and a cath lab requisition are not the same problem, and a vendor who treats them the same way will fill one and quietly sit on the other. These pages set out what actually determines the timeline in each specialty, what we verify before submittal, and what moves the rate.

Specialty guides

Written for the person approving the requisition

Each page covers why the specialty behaves the way it does, what we confirm before a profile reaches you, and where the rate actually comes from.

ICU & critical care

Adult, cardiac, neuro, and surgical ICUs. Device competency confirmed individually, because CRRT and ECMO are not implied by the words critical care.

Read the ICU guide

Emergency

Critical access through Level I trauma. Independent triage, trauma participation, and pediatric volume verified separately from general ED experience.

Read the emergency guide

Operating room

Matched by service line rather than department. Robotics confirmed by platform, and call quoted as its own line rather than blended into the hourly.

Read the OR guide

Labor & delivery

The one competency you cannot borrow from another unit. Screened against delivery volume, fetal monitoring certification, and C-section circulating.

Read the L&D guide

Cath lab

Invasive cardiology, EP, and structural heart. The call ratio is agreed in writing before start, because that is where these assignments usually break.

The guides are not the whole list

We staff well beyond the six specialties written up above. These are simply the ones where the buying decision is least obvious, so they earned a page.

If your specialty is not listed, it is almost certainly still in scope — including allied health, imaging, laboratory, therapy, behavioral health, and advanced practice. Tell us the unit and we will tell you honestly whether we can fill it and how long it will take.

Also staffed
  • NICU, PACU and pre-op, oncology, dialysis, and case management
  • Psych and behavioral health, inpatient and telepsychiatry
  • Imaging — radiology, CT, MRI, ultrasound, and interventional
  • Surgical technologists, first assists, and sterile processing
  • Respiratory, physical, occupational, and speech therapy
  • Laboratory scientists, pharmacy technicians, CNAs, and LPNs
  • Nurse practitioners, physician assistants, CRNAs, and physicians
How to use these

Bring the unit, not the job title

The single biggest predictor of a placement that works is how specific the intake was. Bed count, acuity, real ratios, devices in use, call expectation, and what you can actually offer for orientation will do more for your timeline than any rate increase.

  • Tell us what you actually staff, not what the policy says, so expectations survive week one.
  • Disclose float and call up front — these are the two most common causes of an early exit.
  • Ask for the fill rate in your market, by specialty. A national average hides the answer.
  • Ask what the rate assumes before comparing two vendors, because they are rarely assuming the same thing.
