When a staffing gap opens, a clear request helps the staffing team understand what you need and what must be confirmed. Have these details ready before you call or submit an inquiry.
1. Identify the role and care setting
Specify whether you need an RN, LVN, CNA, caregiver, or multiple roles. Include the facility name, location, and unit or setting. If you are unsure which role fits, describe the responsibilities so our team can discuss the request with you.
2. Share the full schedule
Provide the date, start and end times, and number of staff needed. For a repeating request, include each date or the expected pattern. Mention whether your request is for per diem coverage, a planned absence, or ongoing support.
3. Explain the assignment requirements
Describe the experience and credentials relevant to the work. Include any site-specific orientation, arrival instructions, or requirements the staffing team should review before confirming someone.
4. Name a point of contact
Give the name, phone number, and email address of the person coordinating the request. If a different person will receive the professional at the facility, discuss that handoff when the assignment is confirmed.
5. Confirm the details together
A submitted inquiry starts a conversation. It does not reserve staff. Review availability, assignment details, rates, cancellation terms, and other applicable conditions directly with the staffing team before treating coverage as confirmed.
