At First Choice Care, we want to celebrate our amazing nurses! So, we will be announcing a nurse of the month, every month. This nurse will be kind, caring and compassionate and be reliable and dedicated to our nursing agency.


Congratulations Jess B. you have been nominated as our nurse of the month for September 2022! Jess is one of our R&R nurses. She has been booked out on back-to-back contracts with us all year and is currently on contract in beautiful Far North QLD. Check out why Jess recommends FCC:

What do you like most about FCC?

They make my life incredibly easy. I can text or call and everything gets sorted out or I get the answers to my questions. Payroll are also fabulous. I love how easy, kind and efficient this team is! 

Why did you want to be a nurse?

Not a great story but, a lecturer at a nursing open day at USQ made nursing sound so appealing because you could work anywhere in Aus or the whole world. As a 17 year old I was imagining amazing around the world adventures, I had absolutely no idea what a nurse actually did, however, 10 years later I love what I do and I have worked in some very beautiful places all over Australia. 

What has been the highlight of working with FCC?

Being able to come back to Far North QLD, I really do love the community here. I also greatly appreciate the support and check-in phone calls – when you have had a tough few shifts or a bad week this is actually one of the kindest gestures. 

Would you recommend FCC to other nurses and why?

ABSOLUTELY! This team is so kind and organised and they are more than willing to help or support you in any way they can. I also find them so accommodating with planning contracts around my social life. They are flexible and genuinely there for you anytime.
