Same-week RN and LPN shift coverage for facilities from Bergen County to Middlesex.
A call-out at five in the morning, a census spike after a hospital discharge push, a resignation that leaves the weekend schedule open — per diem staffing exists for the gaps that cannot wait for a job posting. Priority Groups NJ maintains an active pool of New Jersey-licensed RNs and LPNs across Essex, Hudson, Bergen, Union, Passaic, and Middlesex counties who pick up single shifts, weekend runs, and short blocks. Every nurse is credentialed once, up front — license verification, background check, references — so when you call with an open shift, the only question left is who is closest and available, not whether the paperwork is ready.

One-to-six-week blocks that bridge a medical leave, vacation season, or a delayed permanent hire.
For facilities in our core counties — Essex, Hudson, Bergen, Union, Passaic, and Middlesex — shifts posted with even a day of lead time are frequently covered same-week, and early-morning call-outs can sometimes be covered the same day depending on who is available nearby. Call (201) 305-0936 and we will give you an honest availability picture for your town before you commit.
North and Central Jersey: Newark and the Oranges, Jersey City and the Hudson waterfront, Hackensack and the Bergen County corridor, Elizabeth and Union County, Paterson and Passaic County, plus New Brunswick, Edison, and the Middlesex County spine along Route 1. If you are outside those areas, ask — the pool grows in whichever direction facilities call from.
Yes, identically. New Jersey license or compact privilege verified with the licensing board, criminal background check, employment history review, and reference confirmation — completed before a nurse is offered a single shift. A per diem shift at your facility gets the same credentialing standard as a thirteen-week contract.
Yes. Temp-to-hire is one of the most common paths our New Jersey clients take: trial a nurse across real shifts, then move them onto your payroll on agreed terms. It removes the interview guesswork — you have already seen how they run a med pass and handle your residents.
Yes. Standing weekend assignments are a per diem specialty — the same nurse or small rotation covering every Saturday and Sunday, so your permanent staff stop burning out on forced weekend overtime. Holiday coverage requests should come in as early as possible; the pool thins fastest around Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's.
