APEX ROVER BRIDGING THE GAP IN STAFFING
FOR YOUR COMMUNITIES!
Hello, My name is Jenna Jensen, I am the owner and founder of Apex Rover Staffing!
It is my honor to have your interest in allowing us to help bridge the gap between your staffing needs and the communities demands.
In the U.S. (pre-pandemic), there were about 25,000 staffing and recruiting companies, which altogether operate around 49,000 offices. That is a lot of competition!
There are plenty of staffing agencies, and likely you already have some that help serve your patient population.
So you may ask yourself, Why Apex? What makes us different, what makes us worth one more contract in the books?
Its simple.
Reliability, Quality, Dedication, Understanding.
Our Staff: We take great care in choosing each of our staff with a great understanding of building needs. Agencies are brought in when no one else is available, which means we are the last ditch effort to create a safe and reliable environment. So what does this mean? We take pride in having reliable and hard working staff.
Attendance: is a top priority, and having staff who work hard to ensure good patient outcomes is a must.
Credibility, Skill and Education: Our staff are held to a high standard in regards to patient care and outcomes. Staff are required to do annual training on common concerns in the facility communities including, Abuse, Dementia, HIPAA, Fall Prevention, Medication Error Prevention, Monitoring of Acute Changes and More! All staff have a minimum of 1 years experience and must be CPR certified.
Onboarding: Our staff are thoroughly reviewed including Background checks, ORCHARD screening, Drug Screenings, Referral Screenings, Employment History Verification and more! Unlike other agencies, our goal is to help both our staff and our clients!
Non-Compete:
Our goal is to create the perfect match when sending staff to your facility. We believe people should have the choice to work for whoever they choose, without the concern of current employers getting in the way.
With that, we DO NOT feature a non-compete clause. If our staff is so at ease and happy that they wish to convert to core staff, that just means we did our jobs correctly. They are all yours. We do not charge a fee. We have bridged the gap of many buildings who hired our staff on directly. The result? Those buildings barely need agency anymore!
Staffing Needs:
We are available 24/7, 7 days a week. No more worrying about last minute call outs for non-responsive agencies! We are here to help.
Transparency: We believe in complete transparency from the beginning! All costs are confirmed at the time of shift confirmation. No surprise overtime or mileage. No last minute requests for expenses. If we didn't confirm it? We won't bill it!
Flexibility: Enjoy the flexibility of Per Diem staff. No need to come up with shifts for minimum contract hours, we provide staff on demand to fill in those random gaps!
Pricing: We offer Corporate/Multi-Building discounts as well as referral discounts to our buildings! Ask us!
What to know more? Have questions? Please don't hesitate to reach out!
We bring quality, compassion, empathy, teamwork and reliance to every facility we visit. We would love to bring our staff to your communities too!

Q) Why is your agency called ‘Apex Rover’?
Apex: Meaning Number One, The Best.
Rover: Meaning traveler!
The Best Traveler!
Q) What are the requirements to work for Apex Rover?
To work as an agency nurse or with a nurse staffing agency you must have:
- 1 year or more for non-acute/long-term care-based facilities. Training and unlicensed/certified positions to not fulfill this requirement. You must be licensed and certified the entire time for it to count towards experience requirement.
- Provide accurate and concise information requested pertaining to immunization and health records, and certifications.
- Pass multi-panel urine drug screen, national and state-level criminal background investigation.
- Submit to testing in required areas of clinical expertise.
- 2 Work References
- Current BLS Certification
Q) Agencies pay more and allow me to create my own schedule, so what's is the catch?
Agency staffing is built on the foundation of supporting the community and core staff in a time of need. We are present to fill in the holes and adapt to whatever is handed to us.
What does that mean for you?
You are the last person to get choice assignment, the first to get floated and the first to be canceled. Agency nursing requires flexibility in taking shifts and adapting to new openings. This does not always mean we get our choice shifts.
Agency often have to travel to different facilities in different towns to ensure hours. Agency workers are brought in when no one else is available. This also means there is no training.
Our workers are brought into these facilities, given a basic tour, access to charting and expected to drop and run. You are expected to understand how to adapt to any facility you are present at and learn quickly.
Q) That doesn't sound great. How do I know I will get the hours I need?
All Employees have an option to enter into a SET contract with a facility. These are generally anywhere from 8-13 weeks long. They specify a certain shift, and a certain number of hours. Employees in this type of contract are allowed to be canceled by the facility, one shift every 2 weeks. Anything greater than this allows the employee to receive their wages, even if they are canceled.
The downside is... there is less flexibility in scheduling. Employees don't choose their own schedules. This is done by facilities to ensure wholes are being filled.
Those who wish to make their own schedules and get opportunities for bonus shifts can stay as PER DIEM.
This is a PRN position. Facilities release their schedules to our agency, and these hours are then in turn posted for Apex Rover staff to claim. Once confirmed by the facility, it is then added to their schedule.
Q) What if I get to the facility and they cancel me? Do I get any compensation for coming?
YES! Any cancellations, less then 2 hours in advance are given 4 hours of base pay.
Q) Do you compensate for Mileage?
YES! If a facility is >40 miles from your home address (one-way) you are eligible for mileage reimbursement. You must give an estimated number of miles when claiming the shift to be eligible for this feature. We reimburse based on federal mileage standards. This updates yearly.
