Nurses of the Month: February 2026

Moira – NSW

With over 40 years of nursing experience, Moira appreciates how First Choice Care combines support, flexibility and opportunities for growth. “The agency offers a wide variety of educational opportunities and work experiences across Australia. The recruitment staff are amazing, always accessible and highly supportive.”

Some of her favourite memories aren’t on the ward, they’re at the annual staff parties.

“The Christmas party at The Rocks in Sydney, on a rooftop overlooking the harbour, was unforgettable! It was a chance to meet the behind-the-scenes team and feel truly appreciated.”

Moira’s philosophy? Advocacy, effort and continual learning, values that align perfectly with the culture at First Choice Care.

Leesa – QLD

Leesa has been agency nursing for just 12 months, transitioning from hospital to aged care for a fresh challenge. What keeps her inspired? The small, meaningful moments. “I recently returned to a floor I hadn’t visited in a while and a resident remembered me and a past conversation. It’s little things like that that remind me I’m making an impact.”

She loves the variety of shifts, the ease of the app and the support from the Allocations team. Leesa also lives by a guiding principle from her 33 years of nursing: “There is always time to be safe… and there is always time to be kind.”

For her, First Choice Care feels like family. “No question is too much trouble and there’s always someone to talk to, you never feel like just a number.”

Martha – VIC

For Martha, First Choice Care has brought stability and support. “I’m getting plenty of shifts now, and the team is easy to work with"

She also values guidance on patient safety, particularly around medication, ensuring the best care for every patient. Martha recommends First Choice Care wholeheartedly.
