The nexuscare Standard · v1.0 · effective 2026

What we verify, what we enforce, and what we will not claim.

Most staffing platforms describe their standards in marketing copy that changes without notice. Ours is a published document with a version number. If it changes, the change is dated and visible.

Section 1.0

Credential verification

No clinician is visible to any agency until a member of the nexuscare team has reviewed their credentials against the issuing authority. Verification is a human decision, recorded and attributable — never an automated scrape and never a self-attestation.

Confirmed at reviewLicence or certification number, current standing, issuing state, expiry date

Supporting documentsCPR / BLS, TB screening, background screening, role-specific training certificates

Ongoing obligationExpiry monitored continuously; clinician warned before lapse; agencies notified of risk on active placements

RecordEvery verification decision and every document view is written to an append-only audit log

Section 2.0

Scope of practice

Specialties are declared by the clinician and constrained by licence. A skill requiring an LPN or above cannot be claimed on a certified-assistant profile, and a shift requiring that skill will not surface such a profile.

A match outside scope of practice returns a score of zero with a stated reason. It is refused, not ranked lower.

Section 3.0

Consent before placement

A placement exists only after the clinician has explicitly accepted it. nexuscare will not assign, auto-confirm, or infer agreement from silence. Agencies retain full discretion to select or decline any candidate.

Section 4.0

The data we hold

nexuscare holds professional credentials, work history, and staffing records. It does not hold client health records, care notes, diagnoses, or treatment information. Free-text fields are actively screened, and authors are warned when they appear to contain client health detail.

This boundary is why a small agency can use nexuscare without a business associate agreement. We intend to keep it.

Section 5.0

What we do not claim

nexuscare is not a healthcare provider, does not direct clinical care, and is not the employer of record. Agencies retain supervision, scheduling, and payroll responsibility. We hold no certification we have not earned: where our architecture is built toward a control framework, we say built toward, and we will say certified only when an auditor has said it first.

Section 6.0

Cost

Clinicians are never charged — not to join, verify, match, or be placed. Agencies pay a monthly subscription by team size. There are no per-placement fees, and no position in search results is for sale.

If a fee for clinicians is ever introduced, this document changes first and every clinician is notified before it takes effect.

Section 7.0

Retention

Documents are kept only as long as they serve a purpose. Purges are reviewed by a person and recorded; nothing is deleted silently on a timer.

Credential documents for inactive clinicians

Long enough to support a re-verification or a dispute, short enough that dormant files do not accumulate.

24 months after last activity

Superseded documents after renewal

The current credential is what matters; the prior copy is kept briefly for continuity of record.

12 months

Rejected credential submissions

Retained to explain a decision if questioned, then removed.

6 months

Audit events

The record of verification decisions and access. Contains no client health information.
