How TheNurs.com Works

Three steps from sign-up to first shift — for nurses and facilities alike.

1

Tell Us What You Need

Nurses share license type, specialty, preferred states and availability. Facilities share the role, shift, pay range and start date. It takes under 5 minutes.

2

Get Matched in 24–48 Hours

Our recruiters verify licenses and introduce nurses to facilities that are hiring — and send facilities shortlists of qualified, available candidates.

3

Get Hired Directly

The facility interviews, makes the offer and brings the nurse onto its own payroll as an employee. We stay in touch through the first weeks so the hire works for both sides.

A Nursing Job Board and Direct-Hire Nurse Recruiter Built for the USA

TheNurs.com is a US nursing job board and direct-hire nurse recruitment service in one. Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses and Certified Nursing Assistants use it to find permanent, per diem and travel nursing jobs close to home or across the country. Hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and home health agencies use it to hire licensed, pre-screened nurses directly onto their own payroll — without agency markups or the long wait of traditional recruiting.

Nursing jobs in every care setting

Demand for nurses is spread across far more than hospital floors. You’ll find openings on TheNurs.com in acute care, post-acute and community settings, so you can choose the patient population, pace and schedule that fits your life.

Hospitals

ICU, ER, Med-Surg, Telemetry, L&D, OR and step-down units in community and teaching hospitals.

Skilled Nursing & LTC

SNFs, nursing homes and rehab centers hiring RNs, LPNs and CNAs on every shift.

Home Health & Hospice

One-on-one care in patients’ homes, with flexible visit-based and per-diem schedules.

Assisted Living & Memory Care

Resident-focused roles for LPNs and dementia-trained CNAs.

Clinics & Outpatient

Physician offices, urgent care, dialysis and surgery centers with daytime hours.

Travel & Contract Roles

8- to 26-week roles where you’re hired directly by the facility in high-need markets.

Flexible schedules: full-time, part-time, per diem and travel

Full-time roles bring steady hours and benefits. Part-time and per diem (PRN) nursing jobs pay higher hourly rates in exchange for flexibility. Travel and contract roles offer short-term work in new cities, hired directly by the facility. Not sure which license path suits you? Our guide to RN vs LPN vs CNA compares duties, training time and pay.

Direct-hire nurse recruitment for hospitals, SNFs and home health agencies

When a nurse resigns or census rises, every open position strains your team. TheNurs.com gives facilities two ways to hire: post jobs for free and review applicants in your dashboard, or send a hiring request and let our recruiters deliver a shortlist of qualified, license-verified RNs, LPNs or CNAs within 24–48 hours. Either way, the nurses you choose become your own employees on your payroll — we don’t bill hourly for staff. Read how to hire nurses fast or our checklist on choosing a nurse staffing agency.

Find nursing jobs near you

Browse nursing jobs by state or nursing jobs by city to see openings in your area. Nurses who hold a multistate Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) license can work in any compact state without applying for a new license — and we match them across all of them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about nursing jobs, travel roles and direct-hire recruitment on TheNurs.com.

Is TheNurs.com free for nurses?

Yes. RNs, LPNs, CNAs and travel nurses never pay to create a profile, browse jobs or apply. There are no subscriptions or placement fees for nurses.

What kinds of nursing jobs can I find on TheNurs.com?

Full-time, part-time, per diem (PRN) and travel contracts for Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses and Certified Nursing Assistants in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, long-term care, home health, assisted living, hospice, rehab and outpatient clinics.

Which states do you cover?

All 50 states plus Washington, DC. You can browse nursing jobs by state or by city, and nurses with a multistate Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) license can be matched across every compact state.

Does TheNurs.com employ the nurses it places?

No. We work on a direct-hire basis. Nurses are hired by the facility itself and join the facility’s own payroll as its employees — the facility sets pay, benefits and schedules. TheNurs.com recruits, screens and introduces candidates; we are not an agency that bills hourly for staff.

How fast can a facility get candidates?

Most hiring requests receive a shortlist of qualified, pre-screened RN, LPN or CNA candidates within 24–48 hours. The facility then interviews and hires the nurses it chooses directly.

Do I need a compact nursing license to apply?

No. You can apply to any job in a state where you hold an active license. A compact (multistate) license simply opens up more travel and cross-border options.

How does travel nursing work through TheNurs.com?

Facilities post travel and short-term contract roles — usually 8 to 26 weeks — and hire the nurse directly for the length of the contract. The facility is the employer and sets the pay rate and any housing or travel allowances, so always confirm those details in your offer.

What does a facility need to post a nursing job?

Register your facility for free, then post the role with license type, specialty, shift, pay range and start date. Applications arrive in your facility dashboard, where you can review resumes and contact candidates.

Are nurses on TheNurs.com license-verified?

Every nurse’s state license is checked against the issuing board of nursing before we introduce them to a facility, so facilities only interview candidates who are cleared to practice.
