Tuesday Traveler: Inspiring Start Leads to Beautiful Adventures

An unforgettable patient during his first assignment and endless sights seen throughout his traveler career thus far, oncology nurse Zachary loves the opportunities the travel life has given him.

During Nurses Week earlier this year, Zachary’s recruiter Lonna Rose nominated the travel nurse to be recognized as a hero after sharing his Awesome Encounter. While on his first assignment in California’s central coast region, Zachary’s travel nurse career would come full circle. This is what one of his patients had to say while under the new travel nurse’s care:

I am not able to recall who the first nurse was to administer my first pill, but I remember the next day this young good-looking kid came in to hand me my second pill. I don’t know why I was concerned about him handling this simple task, but I was, and he saw it on my face. Zac said to me, ‘Mr. Brown, my grandfather had this disease, and it was for that reason that I got into nursing, I will take good care of you.’ His words endeared me to him from that moment on.
