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?
friends of ours did exactly that, they went back to oz after returning home. And loved it. they said their friends had all moved on in the uk since they had been away.
