CNA & Aide Staffing for Newark Facilities

Certified nursing assistants for Essex County SNFs, rehab units, and residential programs.

Nothing hollows out a facility faster than open CNA lines. The care still has to happen, so it lands on whoever showed up — overtime swells, your best aides burn out, and the resignation letters follow. Priority Groups NJ maintains an active pool of New Jersey-certified CNAs and aides across Newark and Essex County, from the Ironbound and University Heights out through East Orange, Irvington, Bloomfield, and the Oranges. Every aide is verified against the state nurse aide registry, background-checked, and reference-checked before a first shift — available for single-shift coverage, standing weekend blocks, or temp-to-hire trials that let you rebuild the permanent roster without gambling on cold resumes.

Common Questions

Are your CNAs certified in New Jersey?

Yes. Every CNA we place holds active New Jersey certification, verified against the state nurse aide registry — not just claimed on a resume. That verification is joined by a criminal background check, employment history review, and reference confirmation, all completed before an aide takes a first shift at your Essex County facility.

How quickly can you cover CNA shifts at a Newark facility?

For aides already credentialed in our active Newark and Essex County pool, urgent per diem shifts can often be covered within days, and standing weekend coverage can usually be arranged within a week. Call (201) 305-0936 with your shift pattern and we will tell you what is realistically coverable.

Which Essex County areas and settings do you serve?

Skilled nursing facilities, sub-acute rehab, assisted living, adult day programs, and residential group settings across Newark, East Orange, Irvington, Orange, Bloomfield, Belleville, Nutley, West Orange, and Maplewood. Home health agencies in the county use us for certified home health aide coverage as well.

Can we convert a per diem CNA into a permanent hire?

Yes — temp-to-hire is one of our most used arrangements in Essex County. You watch an aide work your actual units for real shifts, then convert them to your payroll on agreed terms. It is the lowest-risk way to rebuild a depleted CNA roster, because every hire has already proven reliability on your floor.

What does agency CNA coverage cost compared to overtime?

Rates depend on setting, shift, and volume, so we quote directly instead of publishing a one-size number. The comparison worth running is against what chronic overtime is already costing you — in dollars and in the turnover that follows exhausted aides. Bring us your shift pattern and we will price the actual gap.
