Our mission is to ensure that every contact with us is a positive one. Our recruitment practices will be honest and ethical, as we aim to exceed the expectations of our service users’ at all times.

VISION STATEMENT

Our vision is to be the first choice for nurses seeking to join an agency, and for healthcare sector clients needing assistance with nurse recruitment services.

We will remain current, vibrant and competitive by being knowledgeable, innovative and willing to embrace change, bound by a strong quality focus.

We empathize with the constant recruitment and budgetary challenges faced by our clients in the healthcare sector and seek to work in direct partnership with them to provide cost effective solutions.

TESTIMONIALS:

Here's what a few of our nurses have said about us:

"It was for me as an AIN here in Oz (RN in Germany but without Registration for Australia) a great experience not just to be sent to aged care facilities (as other agencies do) but to hospitals as well.

The staff are very friendly, reliable and helpful with everything and you really didn't need to join a second agency. I got as much (or little) work as I wanted! Believe it or not, I joined Nightingale on a Wednesday, my criminal record check was back on Friday and I had my first shift on Saturday!!!"

2008. I.Renners, Germany

“I am a Registered Nurse from Indonesia studying to gain Australian Nursing Registration. I have been with Nightingale for 1 year and very very....very happy because their staff are kind and professional and look after their members really well. They always give me a call every week regarding my availability because they want all their members to get plenty of work, give me shifts that are suitable, sometimes they offer double shifts and they give me full time work when I am on holiday from uni. So keep remembering me when the jobs come up....good luck Nightingale, all the best!”

2008. R.H.Rediasif, Indonesia.

"Working for Nightingale has provided me with a diverse range of experience in nursing throughout the greater Sydney area. The staff are friendly and attempt to accommodate everyone‘s availability."
2008. T. Janatova, Australia.

"My time with Nightingale has been a great experience. Thanks to all of you for your terrific support and your kindness. Due to your efforts in keeping me in work I got the opportunity to increase my skills and to deepen my knowledge. You really looked after me!"

2007. S. Friedrich, Germany.

"I joined Nightingale 6 years ago and am still with them. The relationship works like an old, good marriage - temporary separations do not damage the strong link! Nightingale essentially made true all the promises that my friend gave me when suggesting I join. They have given me a lot of introductions, instructions , plenty of interesting and challenging shifts, sincere yet gentle feedback and a certain degree of financial independence (as hourly rates have always been pretty decent).Caring and supporting staff even helped me to understand some linguistic nuances, including ....the difference between being "sissy” and "sassy!" I would strongly recommend Nightingale to anyone seeking a caring and stimulating work environment, whether temporarily or with prospects of a long career in nursing.”

2008. P. Lemieszek, Poland (and Australia)

"I had been working with three different agencies until someone mentioned Nightingale at the end of 2004, so I switched over to them and truly changed my career. Nightingale is different from other agencies, its Consultants are reliable and honest and always look after their nurses. It was my luck to find an agency like Nightingale, and now I like to introduce my nursing firends whenever possible because I know they will be so well treated!"

2007. L.Ma, Australia

"I have nothing but praise for the management, organisation, communication and support from Nightingale. You have always been eager to respond to any questions, concerns or any reassurances I might need"
2006. K.Dreaver, NZ
