How do we feel about international nurses coming here just as a stepping stone to better countries?

The other day I saw a post from an international nurse who admitted to this and she got alot of hate in the comments about how they are "using our NHS".

Personally I think more power to them. The NHS doesn't care about us (especially international nurses) so why should we care about the NHS. Because of this is anyone is "gaming the system" (wouldn't even argue they are abusing it) then props to them.

I think if you have that attitude then you should be against British nurses going to other places early in their career. Trust me, alot of nurses are coming through now with the sole intention of just going elsewhere and have no intention of doing anything other than the bare minimum for the NHS.

In case you weren't aware, certain countries like Canada or Australia are not very keen to take on nurses from certain countries like India or the Philippines compared to other countries. However applying with NHS experience makes them alot more likely to be accepted.
