DPHC Staffing, LLC supports VA healthcare staffing primes with clinically screened, W-2 registered nurses. Every candidate is evaluated by MSN-credentialed clinical instructors and employed on a locally licensed, W-2-only basis, with an initial focus on medical-surgical, telemetry, step-down, progressive and critical care, emergency, perioperative, neuro, and stroke settings.

VA facilities run high-acuity care for veterans who earned it. A resume keyword match and a phone screen can't tell a contracting officer whether a nurse can hold a neuro floor. DPHC was built on a different premise: clinicians should be vetted by clinicians.
DPHC was built to give VA healthcare staffing primes a clinically governed SDVOSB subcontracting partner. Instead of relying on a recruiter-only screening process, DPHC uses MSN-prepared clinical instructors to evaluate candidates against unit acuity, readiness, and clinical fit before placement. The goal is to help primes reduce backfill risk, improve candidate quality, and support VA staffing requirements with W-2, state-licensed registered nurses.
MSN-credentialed clinical instructors evaluate every candidate against acuity-specific competencies before a name ever reaches a prime.
Acuity-specific evaluation led by clinical instructors with charge-nurse operational experience.
NURSYS and OIG checks plus certification tracking: BLS, ACLS, TNCC, PALS, NRP, AWHONN, CPI.
Federal background requirements and SCA compliance built into the screening workflow, not bolted on.
DPHC is not a travel nursing company. No stipends, no housing, no rotations. Clinicians hold local licenses and are employed as W-2 staff, with DPHC as the employer of record managing full payroll tax compliance. The result is stable placements and lower backfill risk for the prime.
Local clinicians stay. Facilities keep institutional knowledge instead of re-onboarding a new traveler every cycle, and the prime's performance record stays clean.
W-2 employer-of-record structure with SCA-compliant payroll from day one. No 1099 ambiguity for the prime to absorb at audit time.
DPHC is an SBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business. When reported under applicable contract and subcontracting-plan requirements, subcontract spend with DPHC can support a prime's SDVOSB subcontracting goals at the VA, where Vets First contracting makes SDVOSB participation a scored priority. Whether and how that participation is credited depends on the contract, the reporting requirements, and how the subcontract is structured.
DPHC operates under NAICS 561320 (Temporary Help Services) and focuses first on W-2 registered nurse staffing for VA healthcare requirements. Clinical sourcing capacity is national, and the bench activates per prime contract demand, so geography follows the task order.
