Advantages of Working through a Staffing Agency

Have you ever accepted a new job, then shortly after starting, realized it’s really not the best fit for you? When it happens, you immediately think about the excuses to use when putting in your notice. Most people have been in this situation and can’t help but think how this would look to a future employer. In the medical world, though a large industry, has very close connections. Having a poor reference can go a long way. When you’re still new to the industry, finding the “right” place can make a huge difference.

Here are some advantages to working with a staffing agency to find your happy place.

Flexibility

One of the highest rated benefits of working through a staffing agency is flexibility. Whether that’s where, when, or how. Many staffing agencies work around your availability and the needs of the facility. This flexibility allows you to truly build your work schedule to fit your needs. A flexible schedule can be ideal for those in school for nursing, when childcare is limited, or when there’s an unexpected bill. Having options to pick and choose where and when you work makes a big difference.

Change of Scenery

For those who find themselves feeling stuck or bored, a change of scenery can be good. Having several options to pick up shifts at various locations provides a break from the same ol’ same ol’. Each location has its own challenges, new faces, and various personalities. It’s kind of like a box of chocolates, right? What’s great about this, is never feeling like you’re reliving Groundhog Day. When you feel bored, you switch it up!

Finding your Happy Place

For those newer to nursing, it may take a few jobs to find what makes you happy. For some, it’s the rush of being in the E.D., or for others, helping patients in a long-term care environment. As an agency contractor, shifts in various environments allows the opportunity to find what you truly enjoy. Additionally, working in changing environments can ultimately make you a better nurse or CNA, because you’re able to adapt to change more comfortably, all while increasing your experience levels.
