We returned from Oz the UK in January2008. Thinking it was the sensible think to do unfortunately on arrival I realised it was totally the wrong decision and have spent every day wishing I could go back. As time goes by it seems to be getting worse we can't afford to buy a home, we can't get well paid jobs, we can't get any recognition for the experience we have gained I am a paediatric nurse, Australia took all my experience into account when employing me, the UK will only take into account work in the NHS. Some employers have offered me work at the very bottom of the pay scale as I have been out of the NHS for 4 years. It is so rubbish I have worked as a nurse for 10 years, so dissapointed and let down with the NHS. It really is know wonder staff are leaving rapidly. However, has anybody felt like this and if so what did they do? We have children, some didn't want to come back and would happily go back tomorow. Any suggestions?
