At First Choice Care (FCC), we take pride in celebrating the incredible work of our nursing staff. For August, we are thrilled to announce Kat as our Nurse of the Month! As a dedicated travel nurse, Kat has made a lasting impact on patients across Australia while balancing her personal and professional life. Here's a closer look at her journey with FCC. What do you like most about FCC? "One of the things I like the most about FCC is the variety of contracts on offer to nurses throughout Australia and the work/life balance I've been able to achieve working as a travel nurse." Why did you want to be a nurse? "I chose to become a Registered Nurse because the profession offers a unique combination of personal and professional fulfillment. The ability to provide care, support, and comfort to patients during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives gives me a profound sense of purpose. Furthermore, I have always been fascinated by the human body and how its complex systems work in unison to sustain life. You can probably guess some of the subjects I enjoyed most whilst at university!" What has been the highlight of working with FCC? "The best part of working with FCC has been the opportunity to improve my clinical skills, meet new people, and explore locations I wouldn’t have discovered if I had continued working solely in Brisbane." Would you recommend FCC to other nurses and why? "I would recommend my consultant, Sasha, to any of my nursing friends considering travel nursing. I have found Sasha to be dependable, an excellent communicator, and proactive in securing contracts for her clients." Conclusion Kat's passion for nursing, her adventurous spirit, and her dedication to delivering top-quality care make her a shining example of what it means to be part of the FCC family. We are proud to have her as our Nurse of the Month for August and look forward to supporting her continued success as she travels and makes a difference across Australia. Congratulations, Kat!

Congratulations to our nurse of the month for May 2024 – Rebecca! We’re really excited to present you with this award. You’ve been working hard shown dedication to your patients. You make a difference in the lives of others every day. Thank you! You can read all about Rebecca’s time with FCC at the interview below. What do you like most about FCC? I enjoy the flexibility and freedom of being able to work the hours and shifts that fit in with my life. The allocations system is easy and uncomplicated, the staff are great and easy to work with and talk to. I appreciate FCC always trying to find shifts that suit me and my availability. Why did you want to be a nurse? I love science and problem solving and I love helping people so nursing for me is the perfect mix of that. After many years, it has taught me so much about people and the human experience in general, so the continual learning is what keeps me motivated and keeps me going. What has been the highlight of working with FCC? The exposure to working in different facilities has been fantastic - it's great for networking and expanding your knowledge base, it's also confidence building. Plus, I have enjoyed meeting many other FCC nurses on the job who are all fantastic!! Would you recommend FCC to other nurses and why? Yes - definitely. The sign-up process is very streamlined and straightforward - easy to follow and FCC don't waste any time either with on boarding - it's all pretty quick. I like the allocations system where you can put your availability in ahead of time so FCC can start filling you up with shifts, so you are not always having to wait to the last minute for a confirmation. FCC staff are also supportive and easy to talk to if you have any issues.
