Maura Hammond, a State Registered Nursing Manager with Ridgeway Nursing Employment Agency, is recruiting SRNs from Armagh to work in Florida with guaranteed annual salaries of £20,000.
First Reported in 1988
A fantastic opportunity to see America while earning over £20,000 is being offered to young nurses in Armagh through a recruitment scheme spearheaded by former city local Maura Hammond. A State Registered Nursing Manager representing the Surrey-based Ridgeway Nursing Employment Agency, Maura is recruiting SRNs to work in Florida and guaranteeing annual salaries of £20,000.
As part of the promotion, Maura decided to make the first offer to nurses in her home town. Educated at the Convent in Armagh and Armagh Technical College, the former Miss Toner of Desart Lane spent years as an SRN in Mayday Hospital, Croydon in South London, before spending two years with a recruiting agency and ultimately setting up on her own. Several successful months led to Ridgeway Nursing Agency inviting her to take over the UK market transferring nurses to work in America. Now living in Surrey with her husband Ray and two children, Maura has returned home to offer local nurses this unique career opportunity.
The process involves setting up interviews with interested SRNs, followed by an all-expenses-paid flight to London for a five-day course to prepare for a State Board exam. Candidates then fly to Florida to take a four-day exam before returning home to await their results, after which successful applicants are flown back to Florida with a guaranteed job in one of the many hospitals.
