About Us

My name is Angie Jurista and I’m co-owner of Sympatico Medical Solutions, along with Kim Kidson.

We are so happy to have launched a new travel nursing agency that is inclusive and professional, with a flair for both travel experience and healthcare, creating a work-life balance that is important for everyone.

My background in healthcare began in 2014, at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, BC.
I worked on many different units and in a few different positions including unit clerk, scheduling clerk, and outpatient booking in Medical Imaging.

I was able to work on the inpatient units and see how things work with all the different allied healthcare professionals to help patients while they are admitted. I was also able to work on the outpatient side of things when patients need to come to the hospital for their medical appointments. With this experience, I gained an appreciation for healthcare providers and the teams behind the scenes that support patient care.

Kim and I partnered in 2020, right after the pandemic started, with a vision to shift the travel nursing industry and stand out above the rest with our passion for travel nursing and supporting our frontline workers. We wanted to make sure each and every one of our team members felt like they were part of the team and not “just a number”, as felt by nurses with their current agencies.

fast forward to today and Sympatico is now a top agency with over 200 RNs, LPNs, RPNs, CLXTs, medical imaging techs, and physiotherapists... and we are still growing!

Our mission is to ensure that we are able to connect with our team members and ensure they feel supported and confident on their travel nursing journey!

Hi, I’m Kimberly Kidson, co-owner of Sympatico Medical Solutions. I’ve been a nurse for over a decade, and my career has taken me all across beautiful British Columbia — from the northern communities to the coast, the Interior, and everywhere in between.
What I love most about travel nursing is the adventure and connection it brings. Every assignment is a new opportunity to meet incredible people, learn different ways of doing things, and grow both personally and professionally. Nursing has taught me the value of teamwork, adaptability, and genuine care — lessons that continue to guide me every day.

I’ve also had the privilege of working as a clinical instructor, supporting new nurses as they begin their own journeys. Helping others reach their goals and watching them succeed is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.

When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me outdoors — camping, exploring new places, or spending time with my animals. Those moments of connection with nature remind me a lot of what I love about nursing: it’s all about being present, grounded, and part of something bigger.

These experiences — years of traveling, teaching, and connecting — have shaped the heart of Sympatico. We do things the #SympaticoStyle way: professional, approachable, and always rooted in teamwork.

Because at the end of the day, teamwork makes the dream work, and with #TeamSympatico, you’re not just taking an assignment — you’re joining a community that truly gets it.

Hi there! I’m Tasha, and I’m the bookkeeper here at Sympatico Medical Solutions. A few years ago, I was at home raising my family, and I decided it was the perfect time to go back to school. That’s when I discovered my love for bookkeeping — keeping things organized, helping numbers make sense, and supporting a team behind the scenes. These days, I make sure payroll, invoices, and all the financial details run smoothly so our nurses and clients can focus on what really matters: providing excellent care and connecting the right people with the right opportunities. I love knowing that the work I do helps make someone else’s day a little easier.

I’m detail-oriented, approachable, and genuinely enjoy working with the wonderful people here. Every day, I feel lucky to be part of a team that makes a real difference in healthcare
