Congratulations to our Nurse of the month for February – Holy! She’s an incredible nurse who puts a lot of care and effort each day for her patients. We absolutely love working alongside you! You can hear all about Holly’s time as a nurse at the interview below: What do you like most about FCC? I appreciate the assistance and communication from the allocation team when a shift has been cancelled and how they try to provide a shift. I like that I deal with the same allocation staff if I call to change a shift or need information; I have my two main men, Michael and Tait, who help me with anything I need. Why did you want to be a nurse? I have always wanted a career that continues to teach me something almost every day; this career has no end to gaining knowledge, educating oneself and sharing that with patients to help them understand their situation in a caring and informative way. Being an agency nurse, you are constantly placed in different environments and departments, learning a new procedure or medication or dealing with a different hospital protocol on matters; it is fascinating. What has been the highlight of working with FCC? Being able to work in multiple hospitals, obtaining rapport with NUM's and permanent staff. I like the challenge of trying to fit in when times are stressful and busy. Would you recommend FCC to other nurses and why? I have recommended FCC to many nurses; none have yet made the leap, but I am pleased with the services they provide and the support. I explain the flexibilities of the role and how the learning of new protocols and procedures is forever keeping me on my toes, the hourly wages making up for the occasional cancelled shift. Forever learning and being challenged, I couldn't love it any more.

Congratulations to our Nurse of the Month for January 2025 - Robyn! We want to recognise the incredible levels of care you put in each day. Your patients are lucky to have you, and we're always grateful to have you on our team. Robyn has provided us with an amazing interview below! Check it out: What do you like most about FCC? It can be hard to choose just one reason but one of the things I like most about FCC is how consistently connected they are to their nurses. There is never a time while on contract that I feel unsupported or isolated and they are genuinely passionate about making sure that I am valued and heard. Whether it’s Easter, Christmas, birthdays or any other special occasions that I’m on contract they always let me know that while my own family may be a long way from wherever I am, I still have my work family looking after me. Not just a bit, every single time! Why did you want to be a nurse? I have had a number of different career paths in my lifetime; from fitness to aviation and just about everything in between. I became a nurse because I wanted to do something by which I could make a contribution in, not only my community but also my family. The question we ask children about “ what do you want to do when you grow up?” for me while my answer was seated in what a kind, generous, well respected and community revered role it appeared to be to say “Nurse” kind of just fell out of my enthusiastic child’s brain and never entered it until a very much family member suffered a devastating stroke that “to be a nurse” changed both our lives. I watched the nursing team show knowledge, skill and just as importantly compassionate care that made such a positive impact on my whole family that I decided I wanted to learn the same and hopefully give some of the same back. What has been the highlight of working with FCC? The highlights of working for FCC have been many. The new adventures each contract brings, the opportunities to meet new people who have similar interests and sharing those adventures with new friends who become old friends who also become the same friends I recommend my agency with. Would you recommend FCC to other nurses and why? Of course!!! Two of them are now on contract with me in Lismore!! I always tell people who I’m signed up with because I’m really proud to belong to such an amazing team.
