This Nursing Week, we are thrilled to spotlight Andrew Lammers, a dedicated Emergency Room (ER) Nurse with Cuready Healthcare Staffing. His journey into nursing is not just inspiring but a testament to the passion and dedication that drive our healthcare professionals every day.
From Business Major to Passionate Nurse
Initially embarking on a path to business with dreams of opening his own restaurant, Andrew's first semester of college brought an unexpected twist. A growing interest in health and fitness coincided with a personal challenge—his mother's diagnosis with musculoskeletal disorders. This personal experience ignited his curiosity about the human body, leading him to switch his major to nursing. "After my first class in human anatomy and physiology, I fell in love," he shares. It wasn't long before he discovered the world of travel nursing, combining his newfound passion with a love for travel, setting him on the career path he enthusiastically follows today.
Cuready treats every assignment with exceptional attention to detail. Whether it’s ensuring my pay is accurate, my time off is respected, or my contract extensions are timely, they truly care.
A Standout Experience with Cuready
What makes Cuready stand out in the competitive field of travel nursing agencies? According to Andrew, it’s the personalized care and genuine dedication to the satisfaction and wellbeing of our staff. “Cuready treats every assignment with exceptional attention to detail. Whether it’s ensuring my pay is accurate, my time off is respected, or my contract extensions are timely, they truly care," he explains. The personal check-ins from recruiters and the agency's transparent appreciation for its nurses have made him feel valued and an integral part of Cuready's continued success.
Essential Skills for Success in Nursing
Success in nursing isn’t just about medical knowledge; it’s also about the soft skills that enable effective and compassionate care. "Being a team player is crucial," Andrew emphasizes. The ability to collaborate effectively can be the difference between life and death. Equally important is the capacity to set aside personal emotions and biases, especially in traumatic situations or when dealing with diverse populations. "You have to be able to look past differences and care for every patient with the same level of compassion," he adds.
