i think sooner or later the NHS will start employing pinoy nurses again, i read somewhere, there would be a shortage of nurses in the UK again, but like any job, the more skilled you are the better
me and the misses have nearly got her cousin thru a nursing degree in the phils, i don't think she is worried about him getting a job

Yes we have loads of Nurses looking for job in the Philippines and for abroad. Hospitals in the PHilippines are quite wise these past few years as they know, they are just stepping stones. They hired RN but you cannot get Certificate of Employment until you reached 1 year or so. My niece got a job in Calamba Medical Center and her 6 months was under training. After her long wait, she reached 1 year+ to gain experience to be qualified in NZ and other better countries.

Doesnt pinas now require newly graduated nurses to do "Voluntary" work in pinoy hospitals for a set period of time before they brain-drain abroad?How long is the period?

When I was at the hospital, NHS were advertising that they're needing new employees to be hired http://www.jobs.nhs.uk/ so really there's a shortage of NHS staff.
Joe, how's the cousin of your wife, still going ahead with the visa?
The thing with this, Newly Registered Nurses or student nurses are being "forced" to do some trainings, to get qualifications needed. Forced - meaning they have no choice but to get some trainings without them being paid. Worst case scenario, most students are the one paying the hospitals... Unlike here, you are being paid doing OJTs.
Yeah it's the ££££$$$$$$££££$$$$$$$ dream I am afraid...

it's not really volunteer work because they will receive some allowance. besides that will give them the experience and training they need to be eligible for work abroad.
