What do you like most about FCC?


After working full-time at my previous workplace for 10 years, I was ready for a change. FCC provides the flexibility to be able to choose where, when and how often I want to work.


Why did you want to be a nurse?


Initially, I did not want to be a nurse. I returned home from travelling overseas and needed a job. I gained employment as an AIN at a nursing home. The older RN’s that I worked with encouraged me to pursue a nursing career as an RN, and so I did. Here I am 20 years later, and still remain grateful to those nurses that supported me along the way. I love being a nurse!


What has been the highlight of working with FCC?


I enjoy being able to experience a variety of different areas of nursing and expanding on my skill set. Also, I have enjoyed meeting other FCC nurses.


Would you recommend FCC to other nurses and why?


I would definitely recommend FCC to other nurses and have done so. I have been with FCC for just over 2 months and have found the staff to be supportive and helpful. FCC fits in with your working preferences, making it easier to maintain a work-life balance. I love being able to self-roster through the online portal.
