The union says that each year about 8,000 Australian students graduate with a nursing qualification, but that there are around 3,000 nurses who cannot find work. "It can't be a coincidence that at the same time as thousands of new nurse graduates across the country are unable to get jobs, the same amount of people are getting jobs, coming in as temporary skilled migrants on 457 visas," Annie Butler, acting federal secretary of the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation, said. Between 2011 and 2012, 3,095 foreign nurses were granted working visas in Australia.

>tfw half way through nursing degree I thought I was finally going to get my shit together and make something out of myself. Oh shit lads, did I fuck up?
Jordan Clark
Hmm. Seems a pretty straightforward problem to solve.
Ian Perez
Come over to the US, plenty of nursing jobs here.
Nathaniel Rivera
I don't think you guys want more white people
Owen Cooper
maybe 3000 out of the 8000 graduates are shit at their vocation? just sayin
Jayden Wright
Immigration has no effect on employment or wages. Move along. Do not read Adam Smith. Economics is fascism.
Eli Long
You are thinking of Europe.
Parker Scott
You've clearly never met an Aussie politician

aussie nurses could move to uk - English speaking nurses are needed, any qualified nurses are needed really but english speakers big bonus - and uk hospitals are horribly understaffed
Cameron Perez
There's heaps of nursing jobs out in regional areas mate.
Adam Jackson
I figured as much. It seems like people are just bitching they can't immediately have a job at a metro hospital within 15 minutes of where they live.
Bentley Garcia
>3000 That's fuck all. And if you're a male you should be fine. I'm also considering nursing as an EN, then RN. How is it so far mate?
Brayden Robinson
Its easy as fuck mate, a lot of shitty useless classes you have to take (Communication, Abo studies etc.). 90-95% women, so fucking petty and bitchy. Doesn't take much intelligence to excel. I only attended classes for assessment and labs, been getting 6's and 7's. You'll do fine mate.
Cooper Rodriguez
Are you studying to be an EN or RN?
Julian Kelly
RN, apparently my uni (Griffith) was ranked #29 in the world for their nursing program last year. The instructors know their shit and the simulated wards are pretty high quality
Wyatt Collins
>133454357 I am studying enrolled nursing this semester at MT Lawley TAFE.
Levi James
>did i fuck up Well you're a pitiful MURSE so...
Brandon James
Interesting. I wanna get in, already got a meme bachelors, but I wanna learn something useful.
Jacob Lewis
If you check in the list of skilled immigrants, nurses are those with the highest ceiling.
16000 immigrant nurses needed for the years 2016-2017
And then Australian girls just graduated as nurses can't get jobs?
Cooper Kelly
Take the red pill comrades
Daniel Martin
Lol the fucking unions can speak. They are literally the reason cheap labor is imported. Even after having astrofuckingnomical wages they still demand more, despise regulation and act like complete chimps. Pay $500 for a $100 job? Yeah go fuck yourself fucking tradie fucks. The CFMEU needs to be classified as a terror organisation or some shit.
