Business professionals have known for years that professional image is an important aspect to success. Numerous books and articles have been written about business attire and social skills. The closing of a business deal often relies on the relationship, rather than the performance of excellent work. Because health care is a form of business, successful professionals must attract a stable, growing patient population in order to survive. Whether it is during an initial phone interview for a travel position, during their day-to-day practice, or their interactions with staff and ancillary team members, nurses must consider the importance of the first impression.

Appearance, behavior, and communication have a cumulative effect on the professional image.

Nurses employed by Westways Staffing Services, Inc. are given reminders during their initial orientation with the company that they are not only representing Westways, but more importantly, they are representing themselves.

Often, the basis for a DO NOT RETURN complaint is the attitude displayed by the nurse to fellow colleagues during the shift. The cardinal rule of an agency nurse is to remember that you are a guest in the facility and one that is welcomed back. – Donna Couturié, Director of Clinical Operations
