What do you like most about FCC?

 

I like First Choice because it is small and very personal. Karlene looks after me and goes out of her way to look after me and accommodate my wishes.

 

Why did you want to be a nurse?

 

My ultimate aim was always to do remote nursing and help our indigenous out in their communities and become a nurse with that goal in mind.

 

What has been the highlight of working with FCC?

 

Highlights include nursing in Mornington Island and Weipa and meeting wonderful other nurses from the locality and other agencies and sharing in their experiences. 

 

Would you recommend FCC to other nurses and why?

 

I wholly support FCC and have recommended them to other nurses due to the caring and supportive staff.
