Benefits of Becoming an Agency Nurse

Benefits of becoming an agency nurse with the A24Group Staffing Agency 

Knowing the benefits of becoming an agency nurse is important. The world is facing an ongoing shortage of nurses, and it is crucial that we focus on doing more for the future of nursing. A24Group Agency nurses get paid more, choose their own hours, and have 24/7/365 support.

While most people experience some anxiety about their job every day, nurses are facing more challenges than ever. Nurses not only stress about their jobs but also the lives of many, including our loved ones, whom they care for 24/7. A staff (full-time) nurse works about twelve-hour per shift which generally turns into 13- or 14-hour shifts, and sometimes even longer. 

Nursing is a calling and a passion, and becoming an agency nurse can help relieve the stress commonly associated with the industry. 

What is an agency nurse? 

Agency nurses sign temporary contracts with a facility on behalf of a professional staffing agency. Placement in hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare sectors is provided by the agency. 
 

Key benefits of becoming an agency nurse: 

1. Higher pay rates 

Nursing agencies pay agency nurses hourly wages, which are much higher than staff nurses' monthly wages. Pay rates increase even more when they are available to work night shifts, public/bank holidays, or cover last-minute shifts for staff nurses who are off or sick. 

 

2. Freedom and flexibility 

Working for a staffing agency allows nurses to have ultimate flexibility, freedom, and control. Agency nurses can choose where, when, how much they work, and what assignments they want to do. This allows them freedom and control to maintain a healthy work-life balance. 
 

3. Countless opportunities 

The opportunities agency nurses are exposed to are countless. As a result, they are introduced to different working environments with diversity, which allows them to learn adaptability and gain a lot of experience. Agency nurses have the freedom to travel and earn while seeing the world. 
 

4. Less stress 

Having flexibility, freedom, control, and more earnings, agency nurses get more rest and cope with stress more easily.  

Becoming an agency nurse will not only benefit you but will relieve the stress of staff nurses as well as the healthcare system.
