At First Choice Care, we’re proud to celebrate the incredible nurses who go above and beyond every day and this month, we’re recognising Janine from Queensland as our Nurse of the Month.
Janine’s positive attitude, flexibility and passion for patient care truly set her apart. Whether she’s working in hospitals or aged care settings, she brings warmth, professionalism, and a willingness to step in wherever she’s needed most.
When asked what she enjoys most about working with First Choice Care, Janine shared that it’s the freedom and variety her role offers. The opportunity to work across different wards and facilities has allowed her to continually expand her knowledge and grow her scope of practice. For Janine, every shift is a chance to learn something new and that mindset is what makes her such a valuable part of the team.
One of her most memorable experiences has been reconnecting with patients she has previously cared for and seeing their progress. Moments like these are a powerful reminder of the impact nurses have, and Janine clearly carries that sense of purpose with her in every role she takes on.
Like many great nurses, Janine keeps her approach simple when it comes to advice: “Breathe, don’t stress or overthink.” It’s a mindset that not only supports her in high-pressure environments but also reflects her calm and capable nature.
Janine is also a strong advocate for First Choice Care, saying she would absolutely recommend FCC to other nurses. She highlighted the supportive communication from our scheduling team, especially when shifts change unexpectedly. Knowing she’s prioritised and supported gives her confidence and peace of mind.
Janine, thank you for your dedication, adaptability and the genuine care you bring to every shift. We’re lucky to have you as part of the First Choice Care community. Congratulations again on being our Nurse of the Month!
