Thanks for your interest in becoming a Krucial Reservist! Becoming a Reservist is completely free and provides you with the opportunity to apply for and potentially secure positions around the country.

To become a Reservist, please create a profile within Krucial’s database system. To best position yourself for potential jobs, we strongly suggest you include as much information as possible within your profile (current contact information, certifications, types of positions you’re interested in, etc.). If you add all required information for a complete Krucial profile, you will then be able to take advantage of the “1-Click Apply” feature for any positions you may be interested in securing.

If you have questions or need assistance at any point, you can contact us at reservist@krucialrr.org or (913) 318-3448.

Emergency deployments will typically require our Reservists to onboard and arrive at their assigned location within 24 hours after being rostered. Depending on the circumstances, Krucial may/may not publicly announce when emergency deployment positions are available. Reservists interested in emergency deployments should always maintain a profile in Krucial’s database system with current information, certifications, etc.  

Travel contracts follow a more traditional hiring process, but offer longer assignments (frequently 8 or 13 weeks). 

Per Diem assignments are based on shifts (vs. contracts). Individuals interested in Per Diem assignments must be pre-approved and, once approved, can sign-up to secure shifts on an ongoing basis. Currently, Krucial offers RN and LPN/LVN Per Diem shifts in Kansas and Missouri only. 

Direct hire positions offer a permanent placement opportunity in your desired city and state. The duration of the hiring process may vary based on assignment type, position, and need.

We ask for you to have an active, unencumbered U.S. license, a year of experience, a clean background check, an updated BLS (and ACLS for ER RN and ICU RNs) and be able to travel immediately. Many states accept compact licenses, please refer to each state’s regulations. Eligibility requirements may vary depending on the type of position. For questions about a specific position, reach out to us at 913-318-3448 for further assistance.

No. Krucial Rapid Response will NEVER ask for or accept money in exchange for being given preference in the rostering process or a guaranteed assignment. Any messages or solicitations indicating otherwise are fraudulent.

No. We will NEVER use third-party individuals/organizations on social media to recruit people for any positions.

Additionally, we will NEVER ask for your sensitive information (Social Security Number, date of birth, certification/credentials, etc.) in a non-secure manner (online forms, DM on social media, etc.). 

If anyone asks you to sign-up for a Krucial deployment and the request does not come directly from Krucial, it is FRAUDULENT.

If you encounter an individual/organization engaging in these activities, please report it by contacting us at reservist@krucialrr.org.

Because emergency deployments are unique circumstances, we do not know how long deployments will last. Some may last for a few weeks, others may last for months. However, Krucial typically asks for a minimum commitment (typically 2-4 weeks) to ensure we can provide the essential services people need.

Travel arrangements are typically the responsibility of the individual deploying to the emergency and arrival is typically needed within 24-48 hours.

Lodging will be provided for emergency deployments. However, because emergency deployments are highly fluid situations, accommodations may be limited. For example, in some cases, staff lodging may occur in a shelter. Individuals interested in emergency deployments should be prepared to bring their own essentials (toiletries, shower shoes, flashlight, etc.).

In most emergency deployments, staff need to complete National Incident Management System (NIMS) courses in order to be eligible for positions. The most common courses required are courses 100, 200, 700 and 800. Each course is free and can be completed online. A typical timeline for each course is 2-4 hours. For more information, visit fema.gov and search for these courses. It is highly recommended to complete these courses in advance for anyone interested in emergency deployments.
