The calibre of healthcare 'professionals' this company provide is appalling.They turn up late for shift, are so focussed on sitting down in the day room/lounge but don't bother interacting with patients. They go from one shift to another say 'I haven't had my break' so sit down and you find out they have already had a break. Meanwhile, it is 4pm, my early shift should have ended ages ago and I still haven't had a pee...or a drink! Night workers for certain areas just sleep, even though they are supposed to be observing patients! This is now so bad that patients are reporting them to governing bodies

Well I went for an In house interview for a nursing placement. It was totally unprofessional. Although I was star stuck the people there had no idea on how to do anything. Now to clarify why I was star struck one of the gentlemen he manages nursing the tiny fella, his name is Dan Im pretty sure he played one of the dwarfs in Snow White the play.
the other, Aydid, Im sure hes the guy that says Im the captain now in Captain Phillips. A movie I throughly enjoyed.
Anyway, I digress. I had a horrible experience Im really upset at the way I was treated. They lied about pay rates

Worst agency I have ever used. Completely unprofessional and lie. I strongly advise you to use another agency.
