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. If you want to get more flexibility and earn more for each shift, then feel free to get in touch with us. You can get started as soon as possible by registering here .

Australia is one of the best countries in the world to visit on a working holiday. There’s so much to see and do, so many people to meet, and incredible experiences to be had. If you’re joining us as a nurse, midwife, or other healthcare worker on your working holiday visa, then we’ve got some great tips to help you make the most of your time here. We’ve got some awesome benefits that are designed to help you explore Australia and experience all the incredible things available on this continent. So, let’s kick it off with our top 6 tips for making the most of your working holiday visa as an NNA nurse! 1. Take time off work to travel While it can be tempting to work a lot to take advantage of all the incredible career opportunities available, you do need balance. Make sure you’re booking time between shifts to explore the city and go on day trips. One thing you can do is to plan out larger amounts of time off, especially when you first arrive. You could have a schedule like: Month 1-2: Travel Months 3-5: Work Month 6: Travel Months 7-12: Work and live in your favourite city. This way you’ll have plenty of time to travel and explore the country. You can find the spot that you love while also having time to enjoy the career opportunities available. 2. Move between cities and states Being a part of NNA gives you access to a nationwide network of nursing agencies. This means you can travel and work across the country! The best thing you can do on a working holiday visa is explore all of our incredible cities and regional towns. You’ll love experiencing the unique cultures of each of our cities and regional towns. You can find your favourite to spend the most time in and enjoy all the day trip opportunities available. It’s the best way to explore the country and make the most of your WHV. 3. Prepare for all seasons (including snow) Yep, that’s right, in some parts of Australia it snows. It’s not all hot weather down under, you can experience all four seasons. So, it’s important to pack for them. While most of the year is warm or mild across the country, you’ll find winters can get cold. Plus, if you want to visit Australia’s excellent ski slopes, which are only a couple of hours from Sydney, then you’ll want to bring your snow gear. The best thing you can do is bring along shorts and t-shirts for summer, jeans and a coat for winter, and then some lighter jackets for between the seasons. It will depend on where you will be of course, with northern states experiencing a much warmer winter than those further south. 4. Prepare to drive to get to day trips Australia is a big country. While our cities, and many regional towns, tend to have decent public transport systems, there are many day trips that you’ll need a car to reach. So, if you don’t plan on driving or having a car make sure you plan around this. Otherwise, there are many other options for you. Whether you want to rent a car, try out a car share service, or purchase a car, you’ll have a lot of options. Just make sure you get a local driver’s license as you’ll often need one to register a car that you purchase. If you want to try a car-share service, options like Go-Get are great for day trips, are quite common in Sydney, and are affordable. 5. Use travel packages to find unique adventures To get an experience you can’t get on your own, try out some travel packages. They will bundle multiple experiences together so you can go on unique adventures across Australia. Travel Playground offers a wide range of experiences perfect for those on a working holiday visa.
