Why W-2 Healthcare Staffing Works Better for Facilities (and Nurses Too)

The difference between showing up and showing out? W-2 staffing. Here's why Kansas facilities are choosing healthcare pros who move like a unit — not a gig.

When you're running a facility, you need people who actually show up. On time. In uniform. Ready to work. That’s the standard — but let’s be real, not every agency delivers on that. At StaffedRight Solutions, we don’t just fill shifts. We place W-2 professionals who take pride in what they do. And yes, there’s a difference. Here’s why W-2 staffing changes the game — for everyone.

1. W-2 Staff Are Already Locked In

Every CNA, LPN, or CMA on our roster is background checked, cleared, and paperwork-ready. TB test? Done. CPR card? Uploaded. References? Verified.

So when we say someone’s booked for your shift, they’re booked and already halfway to the floor.

2. No Tax Drama, No Guesswork

Facilities love that we handle the payroll. Nurses love that they don’t have to figure out 1099 taxes or wonder if they’re covered if something goes wrong on shift.

W-2 staffing means we cover insurance, workers comp, and all the compliance steps. That’s our responsibility, not yours.

3. We Stay Accountable — to Both Sides

When you’re a W-2 with StaffedRight, your name means something. We follow up, we check in, and we step in when someone’s off their game. That’s why our team gets respect — and why facilities trust us over the others.

Because showing up isn’t just clocking in. It’s energy, presence, and consistency.

4. It's About Culture, Not Just Coverage

Our nurses aren't bouncing between apps trying to piece together a paycheck. They're part of something. They know we’ve got their back, so they bring their best to the people they serve.

When you value the staff, the staff values the shift. And when both sides win, your residents feel the difference.

We’re not just a staffing agency. We’re a standard.

If you're tired of agencies that disappear after the confirmation text, or staff who come in like it's their side hustle, let's talk. We'll cover the next shift and show you what it means to be StaffedRight.

Medicaid, Medicare, and Mayhem: What Every CNA & Facility Should Know.

Medicare and Medicaid aren’t just line items — they’re lifelines. Here’s why Kansas healthcare facilities and staffing agencies need to stay alert.

Let’s be honest — trying to understand Medicaid and Medicare is like trying to read a medical bill with your eyes closed. Whether you're a CNA showing up for your night shift or a facility scheduler juggling twelve open slots, healthcare coverage impacts you more than you think.

And lately? The system’s giving chaos.

So What’s the Difference, Anyway?

Let’s break it down without sounding like a textbook:

  • Medicare: This is federal. Think seniors 65+ and some people with disabilities. If Grandma just had hip surgery, Medicare probably helped cover it.

  • Medicaid: This is state-run and helps low-income individuals (young and old) cover medical costs. In Kansas, Medicaid is also called KanCare — and it’s how a lot of long-term care gets funded.

Most skilled nursing and rehab facilities rely on a mix of both. But here's the kicker — when reimbursements get delayed or slashed, everyone feels it.

How This Impacts Staffing (a.k.a. You)

When Medicaid cuts rates or tightens the rules, facilities start to panic.

  • Schedulers get told to “cut hours.”

  • CNAs are sent home early or called off.

  • Nurses stretch thin across more patients.

  • Morale takes a dive — and patient care suffers.

And that’s exactly where agencies like StaffedRight Solutions come in.

Why Facilities Are Turning to Agencies (Even If They Don’t Wanna Admit It)

We get it — not every administrator wants to use agency staff. But what’s the alternative? Running short? Overworking loyal employees until they burn out?

Here’s the reality:
Medicare and Medicaid changes are unpredictable. Staffing doesn’t have to be.

At StaffedRight, we:

  • Provide fully cleared W-2 CNAs, LPNs, and CMAs who are ready to work

  • Understand how reimbursements affect your census

  • Offer coverage that doesn’t complicate your budget

  • Step in when last-minute needs become a daily thing

For CNAs Wondering Why Their Hours Got Cut…

It’s not personal. It’s politics and paperwork.
But we know you’ve still got bills, goals, and people depending on you.

That’s why we treat our team like humans — not just fill-ins.

Because even if the system is broken, the people don’t have to be.

In a World Full of Mayhem, We Choose Mission

We know how frustrating it is when funding gets tight, when rules change with no notice, and when the pressure to “just figure it out” falls on already exhausted shoulders.

But that’s why StaffedRight exists — not to complain about the system, but to be part of the solution.

We’re here to staff smarter, support caregivers, and help facilities breathe a little easier.

Because healthcare deserves better.

So if you're tired of the chaos?
Call us. Let’s calm the mayhem — together.

It’s not RIGHT but it’s okay…

Sometimes the best things are built in the middle of the worst moments. StaffedRight Solutions wasn’t created to compete — it was created to correct. This is the story of how a calling became a company, and why doing the right thing will always be the standard.

It’s Not Right, But It’s Okay

The Story Behind StaffedRight Solutions

Not every business starts with a big investor or a fancy boardroom.
Some begin with a breaking point.

StaffedRight Solutions wasn’t created because everything was going well.
It was built because too many things weren’t.

When Leadership Stops Listening

In healthcare staffing, the people doing the work — CNAs, LPNs, CMAs, nurses — are everything. But somewhere along the way, I watched those same people get overlooked.

Schedules were full, but support was missing.
Paychecks were delayed, but accountability was never late.
Voices were silenced in meetings where only power mattered.

And through all of that, caregivers still showed up. Still gave their all.
But I knew in my heart — it wasn’t right.

I started StaffedRight not out of bitterness, but out of purpose.
Because God didn’t bring me this far to stay quiet in rooms that never cared to listen.

Building Something That Feels Different

This agency isn’t just a logo or a shift list — it’s a promise.

A promise that doing the right thing still matters.
That CNAs deserve more than pizza parties.
That nurses deserve to be heard — not just scheduled.

At StaffedRight, we lead with fairness, respect, and real transparency.
We hire W-2 professionals and treat them like humans, not headcounts.
When someone joins us, they’re not “just covering a shift” — they’re carrying legacy.

A Letter to the Ones Who Keep Showing Up

To the caregiver who stayed late even when no one noticed —
To the nurse who drove across town to make sure a resident was okay —
To the facility leader trying to do right by their team in a system that’s breaking —

This is for you.

You are not disposable.
You are not invisible.
And you deserve to work with people who see you clearly.

We’re Not Just a Staffing Agency. We’re a Standard.

StaffedRight Solutions is here to shift the culture — not just fill shifts.

We’re not perfect. But we are present.
We are accountable. We are led by purpose.
And we believe in honoring care the way it’s meant to be: with excellence, compassion, and consistency.

This isn’t about revenge. This is about redemption.

Let’s raise the bar.
Let’s give flowers to the caregivers who earned them.
Let’s staff the right way — StaffedRight.

With respect and heart,

T. Drake
Founder & CEO, StaffedRight Solutions

How to Find Dependable CNA Staffing in Wichita

Wichita healthcare leaders are tired of last-minute call-ins and unreliable agencies. This guide breaks down how to find dependable CNAs who show up ready—every time.

Finding dependable CNAs isn’t just about filling a schedule. It’s about protecting patient care, your team’s sanity, and your facility’s reputation. In Wichita — where the need is real and the options are plenty — it matters who you trust to send help.

At StaffedRight Solutions, we’ve heard it all:

“We had an agency nurse cancel 20 minutes before shift.”
“We can’t even get a call back, let alone someone to show up.”
“We just need one CNA. Why is that so hard?”

We get it. You’re not asking for miracles — just a CNA who shows up on time, in uniform, and ready to work. Here’s what to look for when choosing a healthcare staffing agency in Wichita, and why StaffedRight is leading the way.

1. Start with Local

Big national agencies treat your facility like just another number. Local staffing partners (like us) are in it with you. We know Wichita, we know your residents, and we know how Kansas compliance works — no learning curve needed.

When a CNA no-shows, we’re not passing you off to a call center. You get our real number, and we fix it. Fast.

2. Look for W-2 Staffing — Not 1099

W-2 CNAs are employees, not just contractors. That means:

  • Background checks and licensing are already cleared

  • Professional standards are in place

  • You’re protected from liability and surprise walkouts

It’s structure that holds the team accountable — and it’s how we staff every single CNA we send out.

3. Ask About Their “No-Show” Policy

A dependable CNA isn’t just about showing up on Day 1. It’s about having a real plan if they can’t.

At StaffedRight, we confirm every shift, offer backups when available, and we follow up before you even have to ask. That’s not extra — that’s just the job.

4. Check for Communication & Care

If you have to chase down an agency, you’re already doing too much.

We keep communication simple:

  • Text, email, or call — we respond.

  • Need help after hours? We’re still here.

  • Want transparency? We’ll tell you what’s real — even if it’s not what you want to hear.

Because trust doesn’t come from words. It comes from showing up.

5. Test with One Shift

Not ready to commit? That’s fair. The best way to know if a CNA staffing agency is dependable is to let them prove it.

We offer trial shifts so you can see the difference:

  • No pushy sales calls

  • No long-term contracts

  • Just one great CNA — on time, on task, and on point

Let’s Make Staffing Easier

You don’t need to settle. You don’t need to stress. And you definitely don’t need to overpay for inconsistent results.

Whether it’s one shift or a full schedule, StaffedRight Solutions is ready to step in. We’re local. We’re built different. And we’re here to make your job easier.
