Travel Nurse Recruiter, ProMed Staffing Resource

  1. Can you talk about your experience as a nurse recruiter?

I have been a nurse recruiter since 2014. It is not the easiest job, but it is very fulfilling. You learn to be patient and never give up. I also enjoy helping nurses reach their career goals and helping the clients get the best possible candidates.

 

2. What is your mantra for life and work?

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!

 

3. Tell us about your most interesting hire.

My first hire is, in fact, the most memorable. I came in contact with a nurse in Texas who wanted to go to California; she had about two years of ICU experience. I placed her in Arizona for her first assignment, and then a year later I placed her in her dream job in California where she met her fiancé and got pregnant. She is now a stay at home mom in Texas, and we are good friends.

 

4. The best thing about working at ProMed Staffing Resources?

The teamwork mentality and how we all care about our nurses.
