Comment all you like aboutt the US, but the Uk is a completely different ball game, we have an acute nurse shortage and most trusts in the Uk are still hiring and there is certainly no job freeze where i work and if there was it would have nothing to do with the world economy but because an individual trust has spent all there budget. The NHS here is funded by the government not privately. You can scare people all you want about the Us but you obviously have no clue about the UK let alone the rest of the EU nurses from other Eu countries are coming to the UK and leaving there own countries shortThe government here is very aware of what is going on with the world right now. Thank you.But why in the world should the US be required to open their doors when the other does not hold true in reverse? An American nurse cannot go to the Philippines and get licensed, even if they attended school there. So why should the US have an open door policy because a government can't seem to do things correctly?
The UK as well as the rest of the EU all have hiring freezes in place and jobs must first go to their own citizens. That is what is happening now in the US as well as the fact that we have had a retrogression for more than two years already.
There is no country that has unlimited visas for nurses, never has been one either anyplace.
