uk nurses who have come to the usa

[cariad]

I am in the usvi, and have been here nearly a year, maybe all the nurses who have posted their news about immigration, can now post about the differences in the us hospitals. I dont think that american doctors and nurses fully understand where we come from, and the working environment of the nhs, its only when we get here that we can understand the differences. I am sure that stateside hospitals are different even from here. and that they also vary from state to state, but maybe nurses who are waiting to come will be able to pick up some tips and know more than us what to expect.

christine....from wales to scotland to united states virgin islands, and then to the states, in january.

never heard of the patient pathway either, probably have fiddled figures to say that its being followed as usual.

when we speak to other americans over here they have no idea that any uk nurses are waiting to come over because of an immigration problem, even the management in the hospitals who are waiting for staff dont know, and when we try to explain they still dont understand.

we just feel sorry for everybody still over there, moneys short for us right now, but what the hell, we have just come out of the hot tub, and its 15 minutes after midnight.
