This May, we're thrilled to shine a spotlight on our Nurse of the Month, Marjie! Known for her dedication, compassion, and adventurous spirit, Marjie exemplifies what it means to be a nurse with First Choice Care. Her journey into emergency nursing and her love for rural and remote work make her truly one-of-a-kind. Here’s what Marjie had to say about her experience with us:
What do you like most about First Choice Care?
I like the flexibility of being an agency nurse. I also feel like I exist as a person to First Choice Care, where I have worked for others and only felt like a number.
Why did you want to become a Nurse?
I became a nurse actually as a platform for paramedicine and then I discovered the Emergency department and haven’t looked back. I love being able to help people.
What has been the highlight of working with First Choice Care?
I really enjoy working with handlers and I enjoy the flexibility to travel with my work and make a good pay packet. I am not someone who does permanency well, so this is an ideal set up for me.
Would you recommend First Choice Care to other nurses and why?
I would recommend First Choice Care for their rural and remote team. I have never done ad hoc shifts so I can’t speak for the metro teams, but I can only imagine that they are just as good. I have always been able to speak to a person when I called and the team actually communicate with each other which I love. I find the pay rates to be very competitive and I get the support I need when I need it.
Thank you, Marjie, for being such an incredible part of the First Choice Care family. Your passion for emergency nursing and commitment to quality care in rural and remote settings is inspiring. We’re lucky to have you on the team!
