How do you ensure a nurse has the experience needed to perform services in each specialty? 

Quality Care Nursing has an extensive pre screening process to include the following:

• Past employment/references: Our standard procedures require a minimum of three recent professional references, including two supervisors and/or peers. QCN holds high standards with regard to performance. Only candidates who exemplify commitment and dedication to their profession are referred.

• Education: Our Staffing Coordinators are required to verify and request copies of all Diplomas and reference material. Information is to be on file no later than the start of assignment.

• Skills: An extensive & comprehensive skill inventory is taken from each professional for every assignment. The assessment of all skill inventories is validated during the reference process for accuracy.

• Licensure/Certifications: QCN requires copies of all state licensures and certifications. In addition QCN verifies all licenses by verifying through the state board directly.

​

Do you manage the medical professionals placed with clients? 

No. The day-to-day management and supervision of the medical professional is strictly up to the client.

However, in the event that a problem arises, we will do whatever we can to help resolve any issues.

​

Do you have Malpractice Insurance?

In addition, many of our medical professionals have their own personal malpractice insurance. If an incident occurs, please notify our office within twenty-four hours.

 

What differentiates QCN from other staffing agencies? 

Our philosophy is simple - we focus on individualized recruitment strategies for each of our clients. Rather than focusing on generating as many job orders as possible from our clients, and hoping to fill a percentage of them, QCN operates much differently. QCN strives to establish long-term partnerships with a select group of clients so that we can fully understand their needs and come up with a customized recruiting plan based on those specific needs. This enables us to meet our goal of providing the best suited candidates for your particular facility or company in a way that best meets your overall staffing needs.

 

Does signing a contract with QCN obligate my facility to anything? 

QCN's contract is the basis for our professional relationship. It is an agreement to refer contract employees upon your request, to assist in meeting your temporary staffing requirements. Signing a contract with QCN does not obligate you to using QCN exclusively for your temporary staffing, nor does it obligate you to use us at all if we do not locate a healthcare professional that meets your needs In our contract, QCN agrees to recruit employees that meet the qualifications, experience and requirements set forth by you and given to us verbally or in writing.

 

How far in advance must I call for staffing assistance? 

We like to schedule as far in advance as possible to enable us to schedule the same team member on a regular basis. However, we can also staff last minute requests.
