Choosing the Right Job

Choosing the right job isn’t easy. Lots of doubt and second guessing tends to creep in, making the decision even harder. “What if I don’t like the new position? What if I don’t like the people? What if I can’t do the job or they don’t like me?”

Round and round, your mind spins so making a choice to take the right job becomes clouded by all of the self-sabotaging! Relax and take a breath.

Our Commitment to Compliance

With the wide array of legal and regulatory requirements, staying healthcare compliant can be challenging, but could be one of the most important things you do for your patients, facility and your career.

Keeping Travelers Mentally & Physically Fit (Part 2)

Staying mentally and physically fit is important for everyone but essential for healthcare travelers. As mentioned in my last blog, I wanted to have current travelers give tips on how they lessen stress and keep energy up while on the road. This month’s blog comes courtesy of Matt J., a PTA that is about to start his 2nd assignment with Aureus Medical. Although Matt is new to traveling, his approach to handling the day-to-day challenges has helped him to make transitions smoothly and successfully.

Keeping Travelers Mentally & Physically Fit

When people talk about stress, you generally conjure up negative images, typically involving someone with red-rimmed eyes, crazy hair, clenched teeth and maybe, just maybe, the word “postal” comes into the vocabulary.
