01

Describe the gap

Identify the role, number of professionals, care setting, location, and coverage dates. Explain whether the need is temporary, recurring, or permanent.

02

Make expectations visible

Document the required experience, shifts, orientation, and responsibilities. Keep patient details and employee records out of the initial request.

03

Agree on the next steps

Clarify the review process, points of contact, terms, and onboarding requirements. A request does not guarantee a placement or a specific start date.
