What happens after I submit my application?
A recruiter reviews your profile, confirms licensure and preferences, and presents you to the facility. Most submissions receive a decision within 3–5 business days; urgent roles move faster.
Does UHC Staffing work with healthcare facilities?
Yes. We staff acute care hospitals, skilled nursing, home health, outpatient clinics, school districts and government agencies with credentialed clinicians, usually within days. Use the Request Staff form to start.
Is UHC Staffing Joint Commission certified?
Yes. United Health Care Staffing Inc. earned Joint Commission Health Care Staffing Services certification in 2024, which audits how we credential, orient and evaluate clinicians.
Which states do you place clinicians in?
All 50 states. Our largest volumes are in California, Arizona, Texas, the Pacific Northwest and New England. Compact-license holders can move between participating states quickly.
How does the referral program work?
Refer a clinician and you earn $100 as soon as they work their first day, then $1 for every hour they work after that. There is no cap — on the hours, or on how many people you refer. Bonuses are paid through payroll.
Do you offer benefits?
Eligible clinicians receive medical, dental and vision coverage, 401(k) with matching, weekly direct deposit, licensure reimbursement and 24/7 recruiter support.
How do I contact my recruiter outside business hours?
Every active clinician has an after-hours line. For general enquiries call (408) 441-9200 or email [email protected].
Travel nursing and licensure questions
What is included in a travel nursing contract?
A travel nursing contract typically includes the hourly rate, guaranteed hours, contract length, assignment location, shift, overtime rules and eligible reimbursements. Housing and meal stipends may be available for qualifying clinicians. Review the complete compensation package and assignment terms with your recruiter before accepting an offer.
How does a compact nursing license help travel nurses?
An eligible multistate nursing license can allow a nurse to practice in other participating compact states without applying for a separate license in each state. Eligibility depends on the nurse's primary state of residence, license status and the destination state's compact participation.
How long does healthcare credentialing take?
Credentialing timelines vary by specialty, state, facility requirements and document readiness. An active license, current certifications, complete work history and required health records can help reduce delays. A recruiter explains the assignment checklist and confirms what must be completed before the start date.
