One Staffing Partner. Multiple Ways to Work Together.
Every Wisconsin healthcare facility has different staffing needs — and those needs change. A skilled nursing facility managing a census spike needs same-day CNA coverage. A hospital planning a department expansion needs a reliable 13-week RN contract. A Critical Access Hospital that just lost its only overnight LPN needs emergency stabilization now.
Vetted Healthcare Group offers four distinct placement models so you get exactly the coverage structure your facility needs — nothing more, nothing less. All four models are available for both long-term care and acute care settings.
Who Can Choose Each Model
All placement models below are available for the following credentials: Registered Nurses (RN), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN), Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA), Respiratory Therapists (RT/RRT/CRT), Surgical Technologists, Medical Lab Scientists/Technicians, Medical Assistants, and all other roles we staff. Model availability may vary by geography and current roster depth — call (888) 81-STAFF / 888-817-8233 to confirm availability for your specific need.
Per Diem / PRN Coverage
Per diem staffing — also called PRN (pro re nata, or as needed) — is single-shift or day-to-day coverage without a set schedule or long-term commitment. You request coverage when you need it, and we deploy a qualified professional from our pre-credentialed roster.
Best For:
- Last-minute call-off replacement — same day or next day
- Census fluctuation — covering extra patients without adding to your permanent headcount
- NOC and weekend gaps — the shifts most vulnerable to short-notice vacancies
- Seasonal volume increases
- Testing a clinician before a longer commitment
How It Works:
- Submit a staffing request with your timeline and requirements
- We match from our credentialed roster and present candidates for your review
- You approve the candidate before any contract begins
- Contract terms, schedule, and rate are agreed in writing before deployment
Temp-to-Perm
Temp-to-perm allows your facility to evaluate a clinical professional over a defined trial period before extending a direct hire offer. The professional works through Vetted Healthcare Group during the evaluation period. If the relationship is a strong fit, you can offer direct employment after the trial period concludes.
Best For:
- Facilities with open permanent positions who want to reduce hiring risk
- Evaluating a CNA, LPN, or RN before committing to a permanent offer
- Building your permanent staff pipeline without rushing a hiring decision
- Facilities that have had poor outcomes from traditional permanent hires
How It Works:
- Submit a staffing request with your timeline and requirements
- We match from our credentialed roster and present candidates for your review
- You approve the candidate before any contract begins
- Contract terms, schedule, and rate are agreed in writing before deployment
Emergency / Short-Notice Stabilization Coverage
Emergency coverage is for situations that cannot wait — a sudden resignation, an unexpected census spike, a regulatory finding that requires immediate staffing response, or a call-off that leaves a critical shift uncovered with hours to spare. This is our fastest deployment model.
Best For:
- Same-day and next-day critical staffing needs
- Overnight NOC shift emergencies
- Regulatory response — staffing up quickly following a survey finding
- Critical Access Hospitals with no backup coverage options
- Facilities experiencing unexpected staff departures or illness surges
How It Works:
- Call (888) 81-STAFF / 888-817-8233 directly — do not use the online form for emergency requests
- Our team responds immediately and searches our pre-credentialed roster
- We confirm available coverage and provide candidate details within hours
- Deployment within 24-48 hours for most emergency coverage requests
Short-Term Contracts (4-13 Weeks)
Short-term local contracts provide a defined period of coverage — typically 4 to 13 weeks — under agreed terms. The professional is placed at your facility for the contract duration with a defined schedule, defined rate, and defined expectations on both sides.
- Predictable extended coverage needs — planned leave, extended vacancy, census growth
- Reducing per diem rotation disruption — one professional for a set period rather than rotating coverage
- Post-survey stabilization — consistent staffing during a focused survey improvement period
- Facilities that need operational continuity but are not ready for a permanent hire
How It Works:
- Submit a staffing request with your timeline and requirements
- We match from our credentialed roster and present candidates for your review
- You approve the candidate before any contract begins
- Contract terms, schedule, and rate are agreed in writing before deployment

Frequently Asked Questions — Placement Models
Yes. Many facilities use per diem coverage for unpredictable daily gaps while also running a short-term contract for a known extended vacancy. We can manage multiple placement types simultaneously for the same facility.
No. Per diem coverage has no minimum shift commitment. You request coverage when you need it.
If you decide not to extend a direct hire offer at the end of the trial period, the placement simply ends. There is no obligation to hire. We can continue with per diem or contract coverage if you still have a need.
Yes. All four models are available for skilled nursing facilities, ALFs, memory care communities, post-acute units, hospitals, CAHs, urgent care centers, and all other facility types we serve.
