The following reviews are about our dedicated Emergency Department nursing consultant Elise

Just completed my first contract with Vanguard and I am excited for the future i have with them. I have an incredible agent who is always available and I love that she is so personable, just having good yarns and answering all my queries in a timely manner. Definitely a good choice for agency nurses, especially NZ nurses 👌

I’ve had such a great experience with Elise & Vanguard Health. From the very beginning, the team was incredibly supportive, professional, and genuinely cared about finding the right placement for me.I truly felt supported every step of the way, and her friendly approach made the experience even better.

Lovely team who work hard to secure contracts; special shout-out and thanks for your hard work and great communication Elise!
