General Information

Why should I choose Re Vitals Nursing LLC?
We’ll admit it, there are a LOT of agencies to choose from, many with comprehensive benefits and high pay. Problem is, most of these agencies are exactly the same, and you’ll see this from their identical benefits packages: competitive pay, medical/dental, 401(k). What’s the difference? Some might offer an extra $1/hr?

We offer a totally unique experience. You’ll receive all the ‘standard’ benefits you’re accustomed to (medical/dental/vision, 401(k), great pay, varying lengths of contracts), but we go a step beyond: FREE Personal Fitness Training during the length of our partnership. If you’ve ever dreamed of getting in the best shape of your life under with the guidance of a trained professional, give us a try. Our Trainers are certified, safe and effective. Outside of our company, our Trainers’ clients pay them thousands of dollars for their guidance and support. For you, it’s part of your benefits. No other company offers anything like this.

The Tri-State area is a dynamic and amazing place, with diverse sport and fitness options available everywhere, during all seasons. Our team and our trainers will help you create a travel experience like never before.

Plus, when you work with us, you will not only receive great ‘small company’ service, but will also have the opportunity to work with some of the best hospitals and facilities in Northern NJ.

Do you operate outside of New Jersey?
Not yet! Currently, we’re only in NJ. We’re always willing to look at new areas though, so if you live somewhere else, contact us to discuss.

Do I pay a fee to work with Re Vitals?
No. Hospitals pay for our services.

Do you offer benefits?
Of course. We offer medical, dental, vision, 401K, continuing education, our unique personalized fitness training program and more!

Assignments

What type of opportunities does Re Vitals provide?
You can work in per-diem, part-time or full-time. When you register with us, you’ll fill out a simple preferences questionnaire, and we will then match you to the shifts/assignments that meet your particular needs.

Why do Nurses opt to travel?
It depends on the individual. Some people like the autonomy of traveling and seeing different parts of the country. Some like the challenge of working with new people at different facilities. Others like the benefits a Travel Company offers.

How long will it take to approve my application and find an assignment?
Application approval is complete after we have checked your references. You could begin your first assignment within one week as long as A) your documentation is in order, B) you have a current license in the state to which you're traveling, and C) there is a need in the marketplace for your desired shift type.

Do I need to sign an employment contract in order to work with Re Vitals?
No. You are contractually committed for each assignment you take, but not with our company in general.

How long are travel assignments?
Typically 13 weeks, but we offer a range of assignment lengths.

When am I committed to an assignment?
After interviewing with the facility, they will decide if they want to extend an offer to you. At that time, you decide if you want to accept the assignment. You are never obligated to take an assignment. Not taking an assignment will not affect future assignments and opportunities.

What happens after I accept an assignment?
We’ll send all of your paperwork to the facility for their review. If you have any additional questions for the facility, be sure to have them prepared for your phone interview so that you are completely comfortable with your assignment.

How will Re Vitals prepare me for my assignment?
Once you have accepted an assignment, we will confirm your start date, shift, unit and salary. We’ll send you a package with all the information you’ll need to start your assignment, and we’ll be available 24/7 to help you along the way and answer any questions you have.

If I'm on assignment and don't like it, do I have to stay?
Yes, but only the length of your contract.

Can I be fired by a facility while I'm on assignment?
Facilities are contractually obligated to you, just as you are to them for the duration of the assignment. Only in cases of documented poor behavior, can the facility cancel the contract. We should be able to work with you and the facilities to ensure that this does not happen.

What happens once my assignment is complete?
If the facility would like to extend your assignment, you can continue with them if you'd like. If you or the facility do not wish to extend your assignment, you may contact us to sign up for a new assignment elsewhere.

Compensation

What will my rate be?
It depends on your specialty and experience as well as the facility and the location.

When and how will I be paid?
Direct deposit or check, bi-weekly.

How are my taxes handled?
As your employer, we withhold your taxes; you are not an independent contractor. At the end of the year, you will receive a W-2. See your tax planner for specific tax questions.

Personal Training

What’s this all about?
When you’re a member of our team, we offer you the chance to work with a Personal Trainer to reach whatever fitness goals you’re looking achieve.

Why offer this?
We know a 12-hour overnight shift on your feet can be impossibly exhausting. We want your work experience to be challenging, but not overwhelming. Ultimately, when you have more energy and stamina throughout the length of your shift, your patients benefit.

What exactly does a Personal Trainer do?
Our personal trainers have many roles when working with clients. Your personal trainer will serve as a coach, teacher and motivator. It is the trainer's job to assess your current physical and mental state, establish very specific goals, design an individualized program, and do whatever it takes to keep you on track towards getting results.

I’m not looking to be a big bodybuilder. Should I still be interested in Personal Training?
The role of the personal trainer is changing. It used to be that celebrities and wealthy individuals were the only people that used personal trainers. The stereotype of a personal trainer used to be that of a big bodybuilder. Today the personal trainer is a highly skilled professional that has been educated and certified to work with various types of clients. Children as young as 7 years old, 80 year old men and women, obese adults, athletes, cancer recovery patients, and adults with diseases all benefit from working with personal trainers. Clients are using personal trainers for fat loss, weight gain, flexibility, posture improvement, stress reduction, increased energy, injury rehabilitation, general health improvement, and cancer recovery.

Does it cost me anything? Do the costs come out of my hourly rate if I decide to sign up?
No and no.

What are the minimum requirements?
Personal Training relationships begin with you going through a Fitness Assessment, where our Trainers will help you identify your goals, assess your current fitness level, and begin to develop a plan. There may be instances where you will be required to receive a Physician’s approval to begin an exercise program; if this is the case our Trainers will let you know.

Are your Trainers certified?
YES. There are many certifications out there – some great, some terrible. You can be sure our Trainers have passed the most rigorous Certification programs available. They are certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine (www.nasm.org). This means they’re safe, effective, and fact-based.

Where do the Training sessions take place?
Mostly in your home. And our Trainers will bring everything you need to get in the best shape of your life from the comfort of your living room. If you and your trainer decide outdoor conditioning is part of your fitness plan, you might also head to a local track or field.

I am not a Nurse, but am interested in your Personal Training services. Are your trainers available for hire?
Of course. They work with clients outside of the Nursing profession all the time. Contact us to discuss or for rates.
