March is the month when women are celebrated globally, and at Pioneer Healthcare, we are proud to support our travel therapy, allied, and nursing professionals in finding their dream jobs in both healthcare and education.
Looking back at history, it's remarkable to think that less than 200 years ago, women in the United States were first given the opportunity to pursue higher education. Today, they make up 80% of the healthcare workforce, according to the CDC.
Meet Nicole, Former PTA and Now Rockstar Recruiter at Pioneer Healthcare Services
Nicole began her journey as a Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA), but found herself seeking more opportunities for growth in the healthcare field. While she loved working with patients, her urge for change and feelings of burnout led her to pivot into wanting to help others find their path: becoming a recruiter at Pioneer Healthcare! Her clinical background has proven invaluable in her role of almost 2 years, allowing her to connect with candidates on a deeper level.
She now helps professionals navigate the ins and outs of how does travel therapy work and what to consider when seeking the best travel therapy jobs. Her expertise in the field has made her a trusted guide for many therapists looking to transition into the world of travel or even local job opportunities.
Nicole emphasizes the importance of finding a career path that genuinely brings fulfillment. "Look for something that makes you happy and fills your cup," she says. Given the demanding nature of healthcare, she encourages professionals to prioritize settings that support mental health and work-life balance. She also highlights the benefits of short-term contracts in travel therapy, allowing professionals to explore different specialties and work environments.
This flexibility not only helps prevent burnout, but also provides valuable experience and insight into what career path best aligns with their passions and long-term goals. The right environment can make a significant difference in overall job satisfaction and career longevity.
Supporting Women in the Industry Find Their Perfect Match
Nicole reflects that a significant number of the professionals she supports in securing their ideal contracts in both education and healthcare are women, underscoring their strong presence and influence within the industry.
She has also observed a growing emphasis on pelvic health therapy, an area that is crucial for both men and women, but is particularly relevant for women due to pregnancy-related care. The increasing number of specialists in this field is an encouraging step toward improving women's health services. As more healthcare professionals—both male and female—gain expertise in this area, the future of women’s healthcare looks promising, with better support and understanding for patients across all settings.
At Pioneer Healthcare, we're proud to have a team of passionate professionals like Nicole who are not just building their careers, but also inspiring others to discover their own paths in healthcare.
For those considering how to become a travel therapist or exploring the benefits of working with travel therapy agencies, Nicole is a great resource for learning about the flexibility and career growth available in the industry.
