A couple of weeks but they're on the payroll as Staff Nurses straight awayOriginally Posted by andy222
You will find out that they still need extra training before being let loose in one of our hospitals..
Royal Surrey Hospital have just had 29 with a further 50 arriving 1st May, encouraging that they are turning away from the EuroTrash :-
There has been a significant shift in the availability of foreign nurses – both on a European basis and Internationally. There are a number of suppliers
that are now experiencing issues with third party European suppliers in sourcing good quality applicants, as well experiencing a more transient
workforce who are not committing to any one employer for any period of time. Internationally the implementation of the revised NMC entry
programme has also been proving challenging. Fortunately the campaign the Trust undertook last year was before these NMC changes so we are going
to be receiving 29 Filipino nurses on the 29th January and 50 on the 1st May. However, these pressures have resulted in a diversification strategy to
ensure the continued supply of staff to meet our needs. Review meetings have been held with our suppliers and changes to process have been made
to ensure the rapid on-boarding of nurses. The Trust has also increased our supplier chain, widened our potential resources to include ex-military
personnel and ensured a planned cohesive targeted approach each and every week with current plans running to the end of 2015.
