So if the reasons are more money and less hours then those with control over the NHS (the government)  are being told something, don't you think? As far as I am aware those with student loans still have to repay them even if they no longer live in this country. If you do an online search using words like, NHS Nursing Shortage, you will find lots of links with articles giving various ...

@Masonic Bodge If the house you lived in before migrating to the UK was far superior, therefore one would assume your standard of living was also. So why did you and your parents come here. Burnside I dont think is refering to migrants arriving here with financial stability and the means to buy property and run businesses. He means the thousands queuing at the French ports with nothing awaiting ...

The reasons are simple more money less hours and i wonder if they still have to pay of there student loans. The point is should it not be that  nurses trained here should at least be contracted  to work 4 or 5 years in the NHS.  So  could also be that the lack of staff within the NHS is the direct result of a flawed system that allows student nurses to qualify at taxpayers expense and then turn ...

So ask yourself this then. Why are those UK trained nurses so eager to leave the UK? Is Australia short of nurses? (It would seem so). Australia is seemingly doing to the UK the same as the UK does to other countries. .

The reason i posted the above is because a relative who lives in Australia and has recently just returned home told me that 8 out of 10 nurses in her local city hospital are English and most newly qualified. She also told me that recrutement staff visit universaties in the UK to recruit newly qualified nurses so maybe just maybe this is part of the problem.

My parents and I are economic migrants. Aren't we welcome in the UK? We contribute a hell of a lot to the economy and the UK in general. We did not travel here in a 'horde' either. Who do you think we are? The Vikings? Or the Orcs from Lord Of The Rings? We are not an army. We are human beings. The house I grew up in, before we came to the UK was superior compared to where we live now.

I've just read the articles in those two links. I may have misread them but it seems to me that the first is concerned with the migration of trained nurses from developing countries (eg Jamaica) to developed ones (eg the UK) and the second concerns Irish (as in Republic of Ireland) trained nurses and the possibilty of their being targetted to emigrate to work in the UK. There is certainly a ...

Tax payers money trains them and of they go and never look back maybe they should be contracted for say 4 years to work in the UK.
