About Us
Not all nursing agencies are the same. You see, we have 2 big differences.
The differences that really matters.
They’re simple differences and differences that pretty much all nurses have.
- We care
- We understand your needs
We think it’s because we’re owned, managed and staffed by nurses.
The Big Chief here (he makes us call him that!) is an old nurse.
And many of the admin staff are nurses.
So we understand the life of a nurse better than almost anyone.
Understanding Nurses
First Choice Care Nursing Agency focuses on understanding the needs of nurses and the facilities we deal with from a professional and clinical perspective.
First Choice Care as a nursing agency has direct operations in both Brisbane and Newcastle.
It procures assignments for suitably qualified nursing staff in the following clinical areas:
- Aged Care Nursing within a facility setting.
- Acute Care Nursing within the Hospital setting.
As a company First Choice Care endeavours to service three important customer groups, our nursing staff, the facilities we service and the patient population that our nurses care for.
First Choice Care as an agency are constantly striving to innovate ways to assist all three of our customer base.
First Choice Care use state of the art allocation programs to ensure nursing staff are matched into the correct facility based on skill set as well geographic proximity to ensure nurses and facilities are married up correctly, and service is delivered in a timely manner.
We coordinate our Nurses and Facilities using a number of tools including an online booking system to maximise time efficiency.
At First Choice Care, we are constantly striving for consistent allocations to avoid unnecessary stress and risk to our nurses, facilities, and patient population.
Automated systems such as police checks help us to ensure our nurses meet all statutory requirements.
First Choice Care are continually updating our learning resources. All units are accredited by the ANF and assist our nurses in the delivery of outstanding nursing care.
Whilst we pride ourselves on having a competitive rate of pay, how we deliver that to our nurses is important. We are currently exploring auto pay in which a nurse works a shift one day and supplies his or her time sheet by 12 o clock the next day to be paid for that shift.
So whilst First Choice Care nursing agency always aim to supply the right nurse in the right shift for the right rate of pay, there is so much more to achieving that for our three groups of customers.
