What do you like most about FCC?

First choice care have been so easy to work with. From the first day of applying they have been prompt and professional. I was interviewed and started the onboarding process quickly after. Since then, I have had regular shifts and the team are lovely!

Why did you want to be a nurse?

I started my nursing career when I was 18 and at the time I was influenced by family members who were nurse unit managers at the Royal Melbourne hospital. I loved that nursing was hands-on and had many different avenues to explore.

What has been the highlight of working with FCC?

The highlight of working with FCC has been the lovely team in the office who are regularly checking in to make sure I have enough shifts each week.

Would you recommend FCC to other nurses and why?

Absolutely. Working with FCC has been a delight! I have really enjoyed working in prison health and was well supported in the transition from other areas of nursing. A lot of the skills are transferable into the prisons. You also get experience in emergency response which has been fantastic!
