Things to keep in mind

• When you become active with Gifted that does not mean you have been cleared to work by the facility.
• Credentialing will submit the documents to the facility for final review and approval.
• The facility’s approval process could take 1-7 days depending on the facility and the number of agency temps they are processing.
• The sooner we can send documents to the facility, the faster we can get the approval to start.
• You will receive 1st day instructions upon final approval from the facility
• In many cases if you are confirmed to start in less than 10 days, you may not receive 1st day instructions until late on Friday and sometimes on Saturday.

If you have any questions or concerns about meeting your compliance deadline, please reach out immediately so we can communicate it to the facility. We appreciate you and we are here to help find locations, answer questions, and guide you through the onboarding process.

You can reach credentialing during the hours of Monday-Friday 8am-5pm CST.

You will need to keep your references up to date throughout your assignments. We will continually obtain references throughout your time here with Gifted and ask to have at least 2-3 always listed and updated quarterly if applicable.

Yes. Since Gifted is accredited by the Joint Commission, all items requested are required unless otherwise specified for your facility.

Credentialing from the time you receive your welcome email from start to finish should not exceed 7 days. Within 48 hours we ask that you review and make sure you have all items listed to meet the compliance standards of both Gifted and your Facility.

Contact your credentialing specialist right away with any questions or concerns to see what options you may have.
