Now of course nurses are invaluable and should get a better than 1% pay rise but..

She is leaving to do a contract job in the Caribbean and then back to New Zealand for more lucrative contract work.

Was she perhaps trained for free by our health care system? Also happened to be appearing in a channel 4 documentary.

It all seems a bit disingenuous.

Trained for free?


No nurse has been trained for free.
 
Someone gets a chance to earn better wages and certainly have better weather by moving abroad. Good luck to her. If we paid nurses better and they felt valued by this government maybe they wouldn't be leaving.

Hey its possible she's been here for several years and it wasn't that long ago that the NHS paid all the education costs. In fact its more than likely, doctors and consultants do a lot of lucrative private work.

Of course I agree its just that in her case its not that simple.

You made it sound very simple in the OP.
She's leaving because she'll be better paid elsewhere. If you don't want staff to leave then you need to pay them properly.
 
Not sure why any of them would stay here when they have the chance to go somewhere much nicer for a lot more money.
 
This is a daft thread. Stick to moaning about your relatives and your crap driving.
 
Im confused by this. Nurses dont have their "training" paid for. They complete 2300 hours of unpaid placement work where i can assure you its hard bloody work.

You're confusing being paid less with being paid inappropriately. I could earn more elsewhere, doesn't mean i'm paid badly.
 
Nurses don’t get educated for free as someone already said they basically work as an HCA for free while training.

nurses are under paid. It’s a bloody hard job and don’t forget that have a degree which takes 3 years to earn. They should be paid at least 20% more than they are now.
 
It's a problem not just limited to nurses but many in the NHS are not valued correctly. There's basically a faulty paradigm of spending too much on how to save money and get more hires rather than paying the right amount.
