i would quite like it if they wouldn't recruit any more foreign nurses (or doctors for that matter). i am a nurse (and train student doctors) and am sick and tired of working with people i can't understand, who do not understand me, cannot write properly, read properly, do not get the british education system (or medical/nursing perspectives), have overly-christian outlooks (which they try and foist onto others), and judge people negatively with mental health problems because of their own upbringing/culture/religion. their level and quality of work is stupefying (not to mention the work dodging).
however....the health care assistants (on the other hand) are polite, literate, well trained, try harder, and are generally better liked by everybody. i find that a funny little foible of nursing today....and of course i cannot say that every foreign nurse is like this, but as a general rule it is, sadly, very true. i may get some stick for saying it, but i think that somebody has to.
