Nursing and Advanced Practice Clinicians
Fill Critical Nursing Roles Faster Without Compromising on Credentials
From the ICU to a patient's living room, Judge Healthcare places the nurses that healthcare organizations depend on, including registered nurses (RNs), licensed practical and vocational nurses (LPNs/LVNs), certified nursing assistants (CNAs), and nurse practitioners (NPs). Drawing on a nationwide network of pre-screened, ready-to-hire candidates, we staff across hospitals, health systems, skilled nursing and long-term care, behavioral health, clinics, and home-based care, on the engagement terms that fit your needs, and handle credentialing and compliance end to end.
Why Judge?
Nurse staffing agencies are easy to find. Ones that pair a deep candidate network with recruiters who understand the specialties they fill are rarer. Here's what sets Judge apart.
Specialized Nursing Expertise
Judge recruiters know these roles inside and out. Our nurse recruiters understand the clinical settings, certifications, and specialty requirements behind each placement, so you receive candidates who fit the unit and stay, rather than a stack of resumes to sort through.
Faster Time-To-Fill
With a large network of pre-screened, ready-to-hire nurses and lasting relationships across our candidate base, Judge can present multiple qualified candidates quickly and fill almost any open nursing role in approximately three weeks or less.
Comprehensive Compliance and Credentialing
We manage the full process, including licensure verification against the appropriate state boards of nursing, certification confirmation, background checks, and onboarding, confirming every placement meets your facility, state, and federal standards before the nurse starts.
Flexible Engagement That Fits Your Budget
From short-term contractors and per diem coverage to full-time clinical and executive leadership, Judge scales nursing coverage up or down as your needs change, with a model built around how healthcare organizations actually hire.

How Judge Healthcare Engagements Works
1
Define the need.
We work with your nurse manager, HR team, or clinical leadership to scope the role, unit, acuity, schedule, and required credentials.

Place and support.
The nurse joins your team with full compliance support behind them — for per diem coverage, a contract assignment, or a path to permanent hire.
Frequently Asked Questions
Judge staffs registered nurses (RNs), licensed practical and vocational nurses (LPNs/LVNs), certified nursing assistants (CNAs), and nurse practitioners (NPs) across primary care, behavioral health, urgent care, occupational health, and home-based settings. Placements span hospitals, health systems, skilled nursing and long-term care facilities, behavioral health centers, clinics, and home care across the country.
Depending on the role and urgency, Judge can fill most open nursing positions in approximately three weeks or less, drawing on a nationwide network of pre-screened, ready-to-hire candidates.
All three. We place nurses on contract, contract-to-hire, per diem, and direct-hire bases, depending on what your organization needs.
We manage the full compliance process: licensure verification against the appropriate state board of nursing, certification confirmation, background checks, and onboarding. Every placement meets facility, state, and federal standards before the nurse begins.
Judge staffs across med-surg, psychiatric, critical care, emergency, labor and delivery, NICU, PICU, oncology, OR, PACU, dialysis, long-term care, and more at every acuity level.
The agencies worth partnering with combine a deep, pre-screened candidate network with recruiters who really know the specialties they staff. A direct hire can take months to source, vet, and credential, and the vacancy doesn’t pause while you do it. Judge maintains an active network of nurses across specialties and acuity levels, which is what lets us present qualified, credentialed candidates in about three weeks and cover urgent or seasonal gaps with per diem and contract staff that in-house recruiting can’t fill on that timeline.
