Nurse of the Month - September 2021

We’re proud to announce the Network Nursing Agency employee of the month for September 2021, Farrah.B!  She will receive a $100 Mastercard Gift Voucher. Congratulations Farrah!


We wanted to find out a bit more about why she loves her work in Nursing at NNA, so check out the interview below to find out more about Farrah's passion for nursing.


What do you enjoy the most about working with NNA?

They have lots of shifts! The pay rate is great, on time and extremely fair. NNA has a good team, who work all day to coordinate new work shifts and opportunities. They always provide professional development opportunities, they are friendly, caring, approachable, collaborative and easy to contact, with special mention to Sam who always responds.


Tell us why you like working with NNA?


I can work to my own availability with no pressure. The team always consults me before a shift is allocated to me and they are super friendly.


What makes you passionate about nursing?

I like nursing because it's a profession that never stops giving. I learn new things every day, and the opportunity for growth is almost unlimited. I feel so good when my patients recover and also when giving emotional support to them and their families. As a nurse, I can empower others. I have the pleasure of meeting people with diverse backgrounds from all walks of life. Every day presents challenges for my critical thinking skills and I know I'm making a difference.


 

Congratulations Farrah and thank you for all of your hard work and dedication!

Recently, we caught up with Joseph Semaan who we previously introduced to you as our Customer Engagement Manager. But we wanted to reintroduce you to him and his new role at NNA Direct Support Service. Joseph is now our Business Development Consultant based in Western Sydney and has been with us since November 2021. He has over 5 years of experience in the disability sector and has been great to have on the team. What do you see as the biggest opportunity for disability support providers? To reach more participants and assist them to live more independently and improve their well-being and quality of life. Biggest challenge for the disability support sector? Firstly, the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) not responding quick enough to plan reviews, impacting participants care. Also, the risk of organisations not meeting professional standards to provide model care to participants. What are some fun facts about you? I have a Diploma in Remedial Massage and ran a business for over 12 years. What are you most excited about for in 2023? Professionally, I am excited to continue to expand the business and help as many people as possible. Personally, watching my daughter grow and celebrate her 1 st birthday. If you or someone you know is looking for support in Sydney, please get in touch with Joseph on LinkedIn here .
