When an emergency department loses a nurse from the schedule, the clock starts on wait times, triage backlogs, and staff burnout. YTC Healthcare places CNO-registered emergency nurses in Ontario hospitals, urgent care centres, and clinics, usually within 24 to 48 hours of your request. We are a licensed Ontario staffing agency, permit THA-0000002579, with our head office in Mississauga. Send us the shift, the department, and the start time. We will send you a nurse who can work it.

Emergency departments do not get quiet weeks. A vacation block, a sick call at 5 a.m., a surge that fills every bay, all of it lands on the same schedule. YTC Healthcare keeps a ready roster of emergency-experienced registered nurses and registered practical nurses across Ontario, so a gap in your rotation does not become a closed section or a diverted ambulance, backed by our nursing staff and broader medical staffing solutions. We cover single shifts, block bookings, and longer contracts. You keep control of the department. We handle sourcing, credential checks, scheduling, and payroll.

A nurse who needs three shifts of orientation is not much help on a Friday night. YTC Healthcare places nurses with recent emergency room experience who can pick up a patient load straight away, an approach shared with our hospital staffing services and physician staffing. Every one of them is verified against the College of Nurses of Ontario register before placement, and we run that verification in house instead of handing it to a third party. We confirm certifications, references, and police clearance, then match the nurse to the acuity and hours you are filling. Your compliance file is complete before they walk through the door.
Active CNO registration, class of certificate, and any practice conditions, all confirmed before a nurse is offered to you. Background screening, immunization records, and certifications such as BLS, ACLS, and TNCC are collected and filed, so your records hold up to an audit.
Triage, resuscitation, trauma bay, fast track, and minor treatment each ask for different experience. We place by role rather than by who happens to be free. For triage assignments we look for CTAS training and at least two years of recent emergency practice, in line with national emergency nursing standards.
Nights and weekends are the hardest hours to fill and the first to fall through. Our scheduling team is reachable around the clock, so a no-show at 3 a.m. starts a replacement call immediately, not a voicemail and a Monday morning callback.
Emergency rooms run on a mix of licences and specialties. Our scheduling team is reachable around the clock, so a no-show at 3 a.m. starts a replacement call immediately, not a voicemail and a Monday morning callback, and for facilities managing patients at home, we also offer in-home nursing care and 24 hour home care services. We place across the full range, from triage through to charge nurse, for a single night or a full contract.
Staffing pressure looks different in downtown Toronto than it does at a single-site hospital four hours north. Busy urban ERs need volume and specialty depth. Rural and northern sites often need one experienced nurse who can hold a whole night alone. We place into both, from our Mississauga head office and through nurses living across the province. If your site is not on the list below, call us and we will tell you honestly what we can reach.
