FirstChoice
FirstChoice offers rewarding nursing, respiratory therapist, surgical technologist, and health care professional travel positions with a flexible schedule to fit your life. FirstChoice travel health care professionals fill critical positions when unforeseen or unplanned circumstances occur; or, when there is a position open due to an extended leave-of-absence. You’ll get to experience a variety of practice settings while traveling within your local region or traveling nationally – your choice!
Join us in caring for our community—we can't do it without you.
FirstChoice exclusively supports hospitals and facilities within the Trinity Health system meaning you will have a consistent experience between job locations. You are a highly valued member of our team. Your training at one location will apply to other sites within the region and will minimize the time you are spending outside of patient care. We understand that there has been a fundamental shift in health care in recent years and like any other employee, nurses and health care professionals want more options and flexibility in their careers. FirstChoice provides you with both, along with the comfort and security of one employer.
Why FirstChoice?
Nurse shortages and a changing health care landscape have required us to rely on external agencies to fill positions, backfill leaves, and staff temporary needs, which are hard to fill due to the temporary nature.
The FirstChoice model provides options and flexibility that was previously only available through external staffing agencies.
FirstChoice RNs will be dependable and collaborative partners to our bedside nurses.
FirstChoice will significantly decrease the dependence on external travelers thereby creating a high-quality, consistent and dependable workforce in-house to work side-by-side with our nurses.
A regional nurse staffing program will allow us to steward our resources while providing our hospitals with direct access to a highly skilled in-house talent pool.
FirstChoice is the name for a regional staffing program that provides a flexible and competent nursing workforce to quickly and efficiently fill gaps in nurse staffing. Adding a regional nurse staffing team that aligns with our Mission and Core Values, and who are highly knowledgeable about our care practices, processes and standards further supports and upholds our commitment to exceptional care and a strong nursing team culture.
FirstChoice RNs are employees of Saint Alphonsus, allowing for greater flexibility, and responsiveness to staffing needs. This also ensures consistency in training, care delivery, and quality of care.
FirstChoice does not replace or take away hours from our nursing colleagues. Rather, FirstChoice will work hand-in-hand with our staffing office when unforeseen and unplanned circumstances occur; or, when there is a need to fill an extended leave-of-absence to best support our nursing colleagues and patients.
