Thank you for your hard work and dedication. You can read all about Reza’s time with NNA at the interview below. I love the wide range of experiences, collaborations and support that working with Network Nursing Agency provides. It allows me to be part of a team that not only collaborates and shares ideas, knowledge, and skills, but also supports and offers advice, and encouragement when needed. I had a lot of rewarding experiences while working with Network Nursing Agency ranging from having flexible job opportunities to feeling valued and appreciated to be part of such an amazing team. What I am passionate about nursing is the dynamic and challenging nature of nursing, the opportunity to work in a variety of healthcare settings, and the sense of fulfilment that comes from making a difference in the lives of others.

Nursing is an incredible job filled with so many rewarding opportunities. When it comes to choosing the best career path it can be tricky to know which is best for you. We may be biased, but for most nurses, we believe agency nursing is the best! But, many nurses miss out on the wonderful opportunities available because of some agency nursing myths. So we’re here to bust those myths and show you why agency nursing is awesome. Check out the top 6 agency nursing myths, busted below. 1. Agency nurses don’t get as many benefits Fact: While the benefits employers offer permanent nurses are different, agency nurses get a tonne of incredible benefits. From bonuses for completing certain numbers of shifts, higher pay, flexibility around shift times, refer a friend bonuses, giveaways, bonus holiday time, and so much more. The incentives you get from agencies are never-ending and extremely varied. What you get will change from agency to agency, so have a look at what they offer when you sign up. 2. Agency nursing is only a temporary option Fact: Many years ago, agency nursing was considered a stepping stone to a permanent position, but as nurses seek more flexibility and control over their work, agency nursing has become a popular career choice. It allows nurses to build their careers around their life, making juggling family, study, and hobbies easier than ever. Plus, with Agency Nursing often offering much higher pay, it’s the no-brainer career move for most nurses. 3. I won’t get as much say in where I work Fact: A common misconception is that the agency chooses where you work. But this is not true. It’s the opposite. Agency nurses have full control over the locations they work. Simply select the shifts that are available in the facilities you want to work when you want to work. Of course, not every location in your city may be available to every agency nurse, but you still get to choose where you work. 4. I won’t be supported Fact: Agency nurses often receive more support than permanent nurses. As an agency nurse, you’ll have a team of people backing you up, helping you find jobs, managing shifts, and working with you to help you accomplish your career goals. Whenever you’ve got questions or queries, you’ll know that there is support on hand to help you out. 5. I will be treated differently to permanent staff when on shift Fact: The healthcare sector has become increasingly diversified with nurses coming from a variety of areas. On each shift you’ll work alongside the facilities nurses, part-time nurses, nurses from your agency, and nurses from other agencies. As there is so much demand for nurses the us vs them culture which used to prevail has largely faded away, with nurses from all backgrounds working together to get the best outcomes for their patients. 6. There isn’t enough work for me to take up Fact: With so much demand for nurses in Australia, you’ll find a tonne of opportunities each month. Both our metro and R&R spaces are brimming with opportunities for nurses in Sydney and across the country. A slow month will still have a a lot of shifts for our nurses, so you can keep your income rolling. It’s why agency nursing has become even more popular as a full-time role. Conclusion There are a lot of outdated myths about agency nursing. But as the industry has changed, and nurses are craving greater flexibility, agency nursing has risen to these calls and provided the best solution.
