Finding Mountains, Glaciers and Icebergs in Kansas!

The Favorite Staffing' Kansas City branch proves our resourcefulness in finding interesting and exciting non-traditional assignments.

Tammy, a Registered Nurse working for the Kansas City branch office, shares her experience.

I began an assignment with Favorite Staffing to "do something different". I have been a nurse for a long time and have had the pleasure of working in many direct patient care areas, as well as nontraditional nursing fields. When I received the call from the KC office, I was not sure this was going to be for me, but I needed something to fill in my time while my case management job grew.

I started working for Favorite Staffing at an accounting firm which had a new contract with the State of Alaska to provide audits of Medicaid providers. When I first started, I could not imagine how I could transform everything that happens in healthcare and compress it into a spreadsheet or report! I also am a die hard "summer and/or beach" person so the initial thought of traveling to Alaska was not that appealing! Boy was I wrong! I traveled to Alaska several times between July and October and fell in love with the awesome beauty. I met wonderful people in many types of facilities. The fill-in job is now my full-time career. I am expanding my horizons as new contracts are entered. This year will again bring the opportunity to work in Alaska, but also to venture in new directions with other states.

I am so glad that I returned the phone call! Favorite Staffing does "keep nurses in nursing," even if the nursing is nontraditional!

Thanks again,
Tammy A. RN, CPAN, CPSN

Daylight Saving Time

Remember to "spring forward" by one hour this Sunday, April 3rd.

Spring forward on April 3rd.Daylight Saving Time begins for most of the United States at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday of April. Clocks should be set forward one hour to 3 a.m. The main purpose of Daylight Saving Time is to make better use of daylight. We change our clocks during the summer months to move an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening.

The idea of daylight saving was first conceived by Benjamin Franklin in 1784. In the U.S., the changeover time was chosen to be 2 am, when most people are at home and, originally, the time when the fewest trains were running.

Not all of the U.S. observes Daytlight Saving Time. Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, most of the Eastern Time Zone portion of the State of Indiana, and the state of Arizona (not the Navajo Indian Reservation, which does observe) do not participate.

If you're in an area that recognizes Daylight Saving Time, set your clocks forward one hour this Sunday, April 3rd!
