UK, Ireland / Nursing staff from Eastern Europe about to 'flood' into UK ? [45]

mr Cdogr90043 is hes worries about flooding spooky only polish nurses to UK

I think he expects a massive flood to the UK yes. He can be worried, but as long as the care is top quality then there isn't much to worry about.

But Dave was wrong about agencies.

I think you misunderstand by what I was referring to by agency (bank work) and agency recruitment companies.
And just to destroy this myth you have that I am a secret undercover agency provider. I am a qualified Psychiatric Nurse and I have done very well to be in the high position I am in at the moment. Through a lot of hard work, talent and an excellent team. I am in a managerial position but I am very hands on (I know what it's like to be a carer, I was one). I work at a private facility providing care for 2 critical care units (for terminally ill patients, 1 unit for young clients the other for older residents) and one Psychiatric wing. We give specialist services that a well-trained team are experienced in looking after. Including treatment for acquired brain injury and neurology, and effective methods in looking after residents with challenging behavioural problems. We are also skilled in the latest assisted living technology. I also oversee (when current management are on leave) a care home for learning disabilities which was voted last year in the top 3 in the UK. So yes, in total...I know my stuff very well. If I didn't, I wouldn't be where I am now;)

One year job gaurantee

It's not a given. No one will take on a newly qualified nurse who didnt do well during their placements. That is why on the very first line on ur link they say that all students in their last 3 months of training have to start looking for employment. Also, if they have done well on placements during their training, they are likely to be offered a position. Good nurses wont be let through the net that easily.

Agency spending down by £3m

Due to the fact that we are doing our best to cut down on money to spend elsewhere. I say spend elsewhere, most likely the extra we make through not going to agency will not be spent elsewhere.

going down the pan

You could say yes, but not because foreigners are training here.

Raise your levels from the gutter, try to take off the 'rose tinted' glasses.

Who is being insulting now?

Nursing Agency by any chance,

Here we go again, whats ur problem with agencies? Would you prefer someone to die due to the lack of staff? Again, like I said before, the rules that apply to agencies are fair and thorough. But then again you're not looking for facts, just a kick.

For your information I know a lot about Poland, visit frequently, and travel worldwide in my work. I often work alongside Polish people (many of whom I admire). But you can say whatever you like, it is easy to hide behind a computer monitor.

Michal???

I can't help but feel that there is a Nursing agenc

Parawhatnow? I can tell you, no one on this forum is with an agency.

Agencies never like criticism.

You have yet to criticise. Just made an ass of yourself :D

Ok then answer my legit question, what NHS board offered your daughter...ahem a job before she was qualified? Simple question, no need to give details, just the board only.

Isn't it strange how all this info from one man asking so called questions but yet he completely ignores the only person on this forum who actually is a nurse...

by the Scottish government.

But weren't you the one saying you had no idea of what happened regarding training in Scotland...hmm something fishy here I think.

Her year was the final year to be guaranteed 'placement / employment

Thats interesting, you say that happened in Scotland? Maybe you could enlighten us with which NHS board she was guaranteed with. I'd certainly like to bring that up with the CC when I next meet them.

she did not benefit from Government funding

Strange, Polish people qualify for funding under Scottish law if they were accepted by the RNC.

are not finding it easy to get permanent employment through the National Health Sector

I find that hard to believe, there are over many many job placements in Scotland for nurses. Explain why they didn't go private? also explain why you think the government should entitle them to a job after paying all their course fees.

Not all nurses want to work the private sector as was indicated elsewhere.

Yes we all understand that. Are you saying that people should be given jobs without the experience of working in those units. As has been stated before, its dangerous to give important jobs to those who haven't had training in that field.

These people are only coming to the UK for purely economic reasons (money)

Yes, please explain that to the 40bout Polish staff who have been employed in my work for the past 7 odd years.

nd will not question anything

If anything, they are the first to question everything.

or try to improve conditions for nurses as they are already doing 'very nicely' compared to rates of pay in their own country!

Erm again you try to make point that they are here to steal jobs. By doing this you are attempting to make it look like Poles (funny how you refer to the EU but keep talking about Poles) are stealing jobs and dont have same values. Sorry but every Polish nurse I know (and thats a lot) take up the same opportunities, i.e ar union members ect. That only increases the power of the unions and their nursing staff.

The migrants, and the agencies will do very well out of this.

I've already pointed out how the agencies work with the NHS and in the Private sector. Do you read anything or do you just take the word of someone who is at the first line of care to be nonsense?

when agencies become involved.....working conditions, and often standards drop.

Yet you cant back this up. Again another attempt at trying to change the discussion YOU started into a "Poles are stealing our women thread".

The race to the bottom continues, with an ever greater search for cheaper migrant labour.

Troll...

What is "banter"? Winding Poles up?

Depends who you are talking to. The point is that they are expected to give as good as they get, not to insult, but to make fun of each other ;)

Boredom + hot weather + I wanna polish my English ;)

I remember taking my ex fiancee to Portree to meet some of my friends. On the bus there 2 old ladies were speaking in Gaelic, my ex's face was a great funny picture. She turned to me with a worried look thinking that she would understand nobody. The old lady looked back and told her in English, if you cant herd your sheep, maybe you should marry the man who can ;) :D:D

You must be an evil man then ;)

No, I just try to get on with everybody. I've had my falling outs with Seanus, but we have a mutual respect ;)

OK ;)

Not that it matters :D

You remind me of one Pole from the internet, he's over 70 (he's half Polish, half Czech) - funny how people of different nationalities and ages can be alike

Like I said before, it doesn't matter where you're from.

So what brings you to do battle with the Scots Paulina? :)

Dtaylor5632, please tell me that not all Scots are like Seanus

Many are, many aren't. Doesn't matter where you are in the world, you will meet people you get on with or don't. Personally I like Seanus, he's a good guy ;)

you could ask if I'm a virgin and you didn't ;)

Well, talk about a question you want answered by putting it out there...are you? :D Please dont answer that, im just pulling ur leg ;)

Love / All the good Polish men for dating are taken? [111]

It just depends on the couple. A lot of couples from the more traditional parts of Poland are engaged quite young...around 24. Move to the cities and its higher.

But like I said, its up to the couple when they want to marry :)

? So scotish or welsh or both? did you make your mind ultimately?

I'm Scottish, but also have roots in Ireland. I was brought up as a child on Skye, then spent my teenage years in Ayrshire. Most of my mothers side of the family are from Ireland.

We don't want that, do we? :)

Is it that time of the month...

*hangs head in shame but really couldn't help it (Scottish humour;) *

You must be aware of it's rife corruption in years past.

Past years yes. Today is a different time. But again you are going off topic but I'm starting to see the point why you made this thread...
