Why do you love working with Fastaff?

I enjoy the support of my recruiter. 

What was your experience around winning this award?

I was unaware that I had won the award until the unit manager called for a brief meeting and it was during the busiest time of the morning when she announced and presented me the Daisy award. Of course, I was excited but very embarrassed.

It was noted that "I bring a positive attitude and caring experience to work every day. I always go above and beyond for patient care as well as the team".

What does winning this award mean to you?

It shows my daily dedication to health care especially when we all are exhausted.

What is a bit of advice you'd give to your fellow healthcare professionals?

It's important as a travel nurse to stay neutral and remember why you are doing this assignment (patient care). Always look at it from a team approach, yes you are a travel nurse, but you are always there to provide support. Just smile and enjoy your experience 😊
