  1. Comparison of US and UK pay

    Wow Nearly three times more than you were earning in the UK that is some wage increase. When I left the UK I was an F grade and I was on a good wage and dont find the wages phenomanally larger here like you have found. I earn $35 an hour and an extra...
  2. Families, are they getting more demanding?

  9. ogp revised contract

    This is a very interesting thread and I have watched it with interest since it began. Unfortunatly you are never really going to read on here how nurses have been used and abused by OGP. The main reason is that most of the unfortunate nurses who have...
  10. Nurses Being brought in from another country

    From my experience a good nurse is a good nurse and it doesnt depend on where she/he comes from what color, race or religion they are. I do however expect and demand they speak in the language of the country they are living in, and that there should ...
