His current facility sent some positive feedback from fellow staff on the unit. This coworker took the time to thank Ivan and his team for helping out and “making a difference” on a particularly challenging night.

Ivan’s team-player attitude and extraordinary care have made a great impression on the people he works with. Aya is so grateful to have him on the team. Keep it up, Ivan!

Team Player Wows Her Unit Manager

Lyndsey is a long-time travel nurse currently working in San Diego, California, in the PACU. She is known for being a skilled clinician, building outstanding patient relationships and being an amazing team player. During a recent busy shift, the nursing team was working diligently to keep up with admissions. Lyndsey stepped up to support her unit by taking on a third patient, which allowed her coworker to cover admissions and keep the PACU running smoothly. Her manager was impressed that she took on extra work to allow the unit to run efficiently while never sacrificing patient care. The manager contacted us to express what a pleasure it is working with Lyndsey. Aya already knows that Lyndsey is a stellar traveler, but it’s always amazing to hear how she is impacting each facility she visits. We are lucky to work with you, Lyndsey!

The patient personally filled out the nomination and submitted it to Stefanie’s manager, commenting on her positive attitude and extraordinary care.

Aya Per Diem Nurse Shines in ICU

Jeanne is a per diem nurse supporting ICU units in Indiana. Despite being a temporary on-call nurse at her facility, Jeanne consistently brings her full commitment to every shift — so much so that one of her patients was compelled to write in about her. The patient thanked Jeanne for supporting them during a hospital stay and remaining patient and calm during a difficult time. They raved about her empathy and consideration, as well as her clinical skills in quickly resolving their pain.

It’s always amazing to hear how a nurse affects a patient’s life, and even more remarkable that Jeanne is able to stand out while working limited shifts in a busy ICU. Go, Jeanne!

Aya Traveler Makes Her Facility Proud

Gina is an Aya traveler working on her third assignment in Murrieta, CA. She is a dedicated, compassionate nurse who has made a lasting impression at every facility she visits. On her current assignment, Gina was working in the Cath Lab with a patient who felt so cared for that his family was compelled to write in to the hospital and share their admiration for her. This patient’s wife wrote, “Gina gave him such wonderful care and concern. This is the first time ever that we have felt so strongly about a nurse’s care that we wanted to write a letter.”  She also mentioned that because of Gina’s care they now have the highest regard for this hospital. It is so awesome to hear how Gina has influenced both her patients and the facility. Thank you, Gina!

Seasoned Traveler Kristen is Fantastic

Kristen is coming up on three years traveling with Aya and has been a phenomenal traveler throughout that time, making a difference in every operating room she visits! Currently, Kristen is working in Myrtle Beach, SC, where her facility reached out to share how wonderful they find Kristen, and to let Aya know what a great addition to their team she has been.

A coworker on her unit said, “Kristen is so helpful! She has been instrumental in helping our team admit pts, pass meds and complete tasks when we have our hands full. She is a FANTASTIC traveler. Her help has been greatly appreciated and we hope to have her back!”

We could not agree more! Looking forward to many more assignments with this amazing nurse!

Aya Travel Nurse Featured on Forbes

Forbes recently featured our amazing travel nurse, Johaida! An L&D nurse with Haitian roots, she discusses her heritage and how it drove her to seek a care-focused community. While she serves a diverse population that speaks many languages, she chooses to speak a “universal language: comfort in holding a patient’s hand, care in rubbing a patient’s back, and safety in reassuring eye contact.”

We couldn’t be more proud of Johaida for telling her powerful story. As she starts the next chapter of her life as a travel nurse, she’ll be able to share her profound skills with people across the country and make a huge difference! Read more of her story here.
