What do you like most about FCC?

I have been working with FCC for a few years now and I've never had issues. I always have plenty of work and don't have to look for work anywhere else. I like the flexibility in the times that I can work and can get time off whenever I need. Being a mother of young kids it gets very hard if you work full time and are not able to stay home if the kids are sick or whenever they need you most.


The staff are also so lovely. Every time I call the team, they remember you by name straightway.

Why did you want to be a nurse?

What I find most rewarding about my career as a nurse is that I have the opportunity to help people in their most vulnerable and unexpected moments. My job is to make them feel safe, comfortable and cared for. I always have room to grow professionally. I learn something new every day at the different places I work.

What has been the highlight of working with FCC?

My highlight working with FCC is the great communication from the team when picking up shifts. I have worked in many different places and absolutely love working and meeting new people. 

Would you recommend FCC to other nurses and why?

I definitely recommend FCC to my family and friends as they are such a great nursing agency to work with. Great team, communication and also great pay :)
