Know the risk factors and warning signals of a stroke.

The American Stroke Association, a division of the American Heart Association, wants to raise your awareness about strokes. This year stroke will strike 700,000 Americans of all ages, genders and ethnicities. Stroke is the number three cause of death of Americans and is a leading cause of disability. Are you or a member of your family at risk?

Take the time to learn more about strokes and the American Stroke Association by visiting www.strokeassociation.org. They have information, programs and events nationwide to promote awareness. Learn more today.

Update Your Credentials to Get More Shifts

Favorite Staffing can send your profile to clients at the click of a button!

Most nurses who work for staffing companies know that the client facilities require copies of certain credentials before you can work a shift there. Our clients are no exception. BUT, did you know that Favorite Staffing can send those credentials to our clients at anytime, even right before your shift starts if necessary. Our system allows us to fax or e-mail scanned copies of your credentials 24 hours a day.

Don't miss an opportunity to work a shift if your credentials are not current. Make sure you keep those credentials updates so you are ready to go! Call you local branch office to day to see what you may need to update. And take time to update your skills checklist at our website: www.favoritestaffing.com.

Please contact your local branch now to complete the necessary training and shift requirements.
