Where exactly have you got this information from? UK nurses are very highly trained and have a more autonomous role than a lot of oversea nurses. As for overseas nurses being a higher calibre have you read the NMC hearings of late? 80% are foreign nurses. Half of them can hardly speak the language, how does that make them better nurses? and as for better pay all staff nurses start off as band 5's! I think you need to engage your brain before insulting British nurses.

To be honest there are not enough jobs for UK trained nurses. Too many overseas nurses who are not all that great only have to look on the NMC hearing to see that! also I think we need to not re-new these contracts to allow places for our own nurses.
