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.
