 So, where do we start the education advancement journey? Today, many nurses
 are looking at online courses for BSN and MSN programs. There are many
 programs available to you in various locations. And if you prefer the
 traditional route of in-classroom courses or maybe even a mix of both, all
 varieties are available to you as you advance your education and training.



 Cross Country has partnerships with many universities that offer tuition
 discounts to our nurses. The list is posted on our website or you may reach
 out to your recruiter for more information. I am also pleased to share with
 you that Cross Country offers tuition reimbursement assistance to our nurses
 who work full time with us. Once again, your recruiter can assist you with
 obtaining the forms and completing the necessary paperwork.



 Advancing your degree is important for your future success. In nursing we
 never stop learning and advancing as the various best practices change and
 improve. It is vitally important for you to be up to date and current on the
 latest best practices within nursing as well as within the specialty in which
 you are practicing. So, learning and education will always be a part of
 nursing to ensure we are providing the best possible care to our patients at
 all times and in all environments of care.



 Finally, I might suggest you speak with your fellow nurses and ask them what
 program worked the best for them and investigate why that program was a
 success for them. Then determine which program best fits your personal needs
 and lifestyle.



 Good luck and know we are here to help you be successful in any way we can!



 I look forward to more questions from our nurses. Our goal is to make you
 successful. Please
