Testimonials

‘I cannot speak highly enough of Ruth, the team, and my experience with Duty Calls Nursing Agency. I have been employed with Duty Calls since November 2019, initially working as a health care assistant (HCA) until my nursing registration was approved by the Nursing Council of New Zealand. I loved my time working as an HCA because I could continue working in healthcare, meeting a range of people while adapting to the New Zealand (NZ) healthcare system.

I love to travel so the flexibility of agency work is perfect for my lifestyle, without impacting my career prospects. I can safely say I have explored all the wonders New Zealand has to offer, perhaps I have even seen more of New Zealand than some New Zealanders, all while maintaining full time employment.’

Dear Ruth and the Health Care NZ team,

I’d like to take the time today to thank you all so very much for all the work you gave me while I was working with your amazing company. The pay rate was above other nursing agencies and the time sheets and pay team were so quick and easy to deal with.

I’ve also met other amazing nurses when working which made each day of work that much nicer. I hope to return to work at Health Care NZ when I have finished this work placement. I just wanted to take the time to say thank you and to encourage other nurses to take up the option for working with such kind and supportive company.
