An Australia wide shortage of nurses
means that we can offer nurses more choice in their careers, and the
opportunity to make lifestyle choices around work.
Nurses who choose to do Agency work find
that they enjoy the broad experience that can be offered by working for a
variety of different hospitals, while on the other hand some nurses work for an
agency to maximise the value of their working hours through increased
remuneration.
Nursing is a very portable career and
because agency nurses develop a broad base of experience working in different
hospital environments, sometimes under quite difficult circumstances they are
well prepared to tackle contract or casual work throughout Australia and in
other parts of the world.
Agency staff are invaluable to
Australia’s healthcare system because they enable hospitals to manage with
reduced or with the most appropriate numbers of full time nursing staff, with
comfort in the knowledge that there is a pool of casual nurses available to
step in at short notice when the need arises.
In addition to holding a number
preferred supplier arrangements, the Directors of JP Nurseforce have
significant management experience in Finance, Human Resources and Nursing, to
ensure that the needs of our nurses are met from both a commercial and nursing
perspective.
