 I really appreciate this question. During these unprecedented times, nurses
 are needed and relied upon more than ever before. Nurses are the frontline
 warriors to this COVID-19 battle. We should never lose sight of our calling to
 care for our patients and the public at large.



 At the same time, I fully understand the concerns about your fears and safety
 while providing care to patients. We all have a fear of exposure and/or
 possible exposures. We work with you and the healthcare facilities to
 ensure everyone&rsquo;s safety: yours, your patients and the public at large.



 If you have any concerns, we want you to know that our Clinical Team stands
 ready to assist you in any way we can. Please reach out to the COVID-19
 Hotline at 800.998.5058. We have a team of clinicians trained and ready to
 assist you with any need you may have. We can be your voice to the facility
 and partner with you.



 Your recruiter is also a partner to you. The entire team of Cross Country
 Healthcare is available to make your transitions smooth, easy and trouble
 free. Please voice any concerns to us. We want to help you and the team stands
 ready.



 Canceling or walking away from an assignment will impact your ability to lock
 a new position. Each facility will look at your history and if you have left
 another assignment they will wonder if you will repeat this behavior again.
 This could limit your ability to secure future assignments



 Finally, I want you to remember that a cancelation puts the hospital and your
 coworkers in a bind, and patients are left with no one to care for them. If
 you are having concerns at your location, first discuss them with the nurse
 manager of your unit. If your issue isn&rsquo;t resolved, reach out to one of
 our Clinical Managers here at Cross Country Healthcare. Again, allow us to be
 your voice. We will partner with you to make this the best experience
 possible.



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

 Always remember the words of Florence Nightingale: &ldquo;I attribute my
 success to this - I never gave or took any excuse.&rdquo;

What if I want to cancel my crisis assignment and go elsewhere?
