Editorial policy

How we source, verify, and maintain the content on this site.

VitalHires publishes two types of content: aggregated job listings sourced from employer hiring pages, and editorial articles covering healthcare careers trends, salary data, and job search guidance. This page explains the standards that govern both.

Authorship

Who writes the content on this site.

Content is written and reviewed by nurses, healthcare administrators, and clinical career specialists with hands-on experience in healthcare hiring, credentialing, and workforce planning. Authors draw on direct clinical and administrative backgrounds — not just secondary research.

Articles are attributed to the VitalHires editorial team rather than individual bylines to reflect the collaborative review process. Factual claims — salary figures, licensing requirements, geographic hiring data — are verified against primary sources before publication and flagged for update review as source data is refreshed.

We do not publish sponsored content, paid advertorials, or editorial articles written to promote a specific employer or service. If a post references a tool or service, it is because it is relevant to the topic — not because of a commercial relationship. VitalHires does not accept payment for editorial coverage.

Sources

Where our data comes from.

Salary figures, workforce statistics, and regulatory information in VitalHires editorial content are drawn from the following primary sources. We link to original sources in articles wherever possible.

Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics

primary source for RN, LPN, NP, and allied health salary data

National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN)

nurse licensure, scope of practice, and compact state data

Individual state Boards of Nursing (BON)

practice acts, prescriptive authority, and license verification

Hospital system and health network career portals

direct job posting data and employer hiring activity

Nursing Solutions Inc. (NSI) National Health Care Retention & RN Staffing Report

industry staffing and retention benchmarks

HRSA Area Health Resources Files and National Health Workforce Analysis

shortage area designations and supply/demand projections

When primary sources publish updates — for example, when BLS releases new OES wage data — we review and update affected articles. The publication date visible on each article reflects the most recent substantive update, not only the original publish date.

Job listings

How listings are sourced and verified.

Sourcing

Listings are aggregated from hospital systems, health networks, clinics, and clinical employer hiring pages. We do not publish paid listings that bypass source verification. A listing must originate from a verifiable employer hiring page or official posting portal to appear on this site.

Deduplication and quality

Listings are deduplicated, job titles are normalized, and data freshness is monitored. Roles flagged as out-of-scope, duplicated, or expired are removed. Feeds refresh daily.

Scope

We prioritize roles in healthcare and flag postings that appear out of scope. Listings for unrelated industries or roles that do not match the site's focus are excluded.

Disclosure

VitalHires is a discovery platform. Hiring decisions, compensation details, and final requirements are set and owned by each employer. Always verify compensation, credentials, and deadlines on the official employer website before applying.

Updates and corrections

How we handle errors and keep content current.

Update policy

Editorial articles are reviewed on a rolling basis. When source data changes — new BLS wage releases, regulatory updates, or changes to state licensing requirements — we update the relevant articles and revise the publication date. We do not leave materially inaccurate salary ranges or regulatory information uncorrected once a discrepancy is identified.

Corrections

If you identify a factual error in an article — an incorrect salary figure, an outdated licensing requirement, or a mischaracterized regulation — email us at hello@vitalhires.io with a reference to the source you believe contradicts the claim. We investigate corrections promptly and update articles when the correction is substantiated.

Listing corrections

If a job listing is inaccurate, no longer active, or misattributed to the wrong employer, report it to the same address. We investigate and remove or correct listings that cannot be verified against the source.

Independence

What we do and don't accept.

VitalHires's editorial content is independent of its commercial relationships. We do not accept payment for editorial coverage, do not publish sponsored articles that appear as editorial content, and do not allow employers or services to influence the factual claims in our articles. Employers listed on the site have not paid for favorable editorial treatment.

All application links point to the employer's own hiring page. VitalHires does not earn a fee per application or per hire. We surface listings because they are relevant to healthcare job seekers, not because of a financial arrangement with the employer.

If you have questions about any aspect of how this content is produced or how listings are sourced, contact us at hello@vitalhires.io.
