EVV & Timesheet Accuracy
Built for North Carolina healthcare leaders
We eliminate open requisitions by combining two deep talent pipelines with zero logistics burden on your internal HR.
1. Virginia & Regional eNLC Travel Pipeline
Leverage the Nurse Licensure Compact. We source vetted, experienced RNs and LPNs from Virginia and surrounding compact states. CareNomads covers all corporate lodging, mileage, and travel logistics, ensuring nurses arrive punctual, rested, and ready for floor orientation.
2. Cross-Border Canadian RN Pipeline
Overcome the chronic 1-to-2 year domestic travel nurse churn. We recruit Canadian BScN graduates who have passed the NCLEX-RN and deploy them on stable 12-month placements via USMCA/TN status. You gain clinical continuity without inflated crisis rates.
3. Primary-Source Credentialing & EVV
Every professional arrives with an active NC Board of Nursing license verification, 10-panel drug screen, clear OIG/SAM federal exclusion reports, and current immunization/TB titer records. Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) ensures you only pay for verified, on-floor hours.

Questions from facilities and MSPs
Do out-of-state nurses need a North Carolina license?
North Carolina participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact. Nurses whose primary state of residence is another compact state, including Virginia, can practice here on their multistate license. Canadian-educated RNs need North Carolina licensure before starting.
Can you onboard to our MSP or VMS?
Yes. Send us your vendor packet and we return the agreement, insurance certificates, W-9 and compliance documents.
Who employs the clinicians?
CareNomads employs them and handles payroll, taxes, insurance and benefits. W-2 employees with standard health & retirement benefits.
Can we hire a clinician permanently?
Yes, through contract-to-hire. Conversion terms are agreed upfront.
