Working

Hi everyone,

As we are all Spanish nurses in this blog, I wanted to know what your opinion is regarding Brexit. Does anyone know if we are going to need to apply for working visas? Has anyone been informed by their managers regarding this situation?
I would appreciate some feedback as I am quite anxious to know if we are going to be able to maintain our current jobs.

Regards,
Ana

  1. This is my second day at Barnsley Hospital and it’s my third day in England in fact.
    I’m living at a guesthouse at the east of Barnsley at the moment, but I would like to find an apartment that I could share with other nurses or other personnel of the hospital. I would prefer living closer to the job, so I don’t waste time to get it.
    Also, sharing a flat with some colleagues, will give us the opportunity of knowing the hospital better and faster. It’s a very big institution and I find very important to get on there as soon as possible.
    Do you know someone who is looking for accommodation and could be interested in my proposal? I find at the Care of the Elderly department myself.
    Get in touch.

  2. Hi Ana:
    Related to the Brexit that you’re asking for, I really have no idea how this new situation is going to affect us. I have a temporary contract here with duration of 6 months. There is a renewal possibility after that, based on a positive assessment of my hob here. Nobody mentioned anything about the Brexit issue but it’s maybe important. Next week, I have an meeting with my supervisor at the Elderly Unit. I will take the opportunity to ask him for the question. It’s already more than 5 months since the Brexit came to reality, so, he surely knows something about it. I will let you know.

  3. Some of my patients are outpatients who come here on a regular basis for their treatment. It’s especially hard to deal with them. The majority are forced by their families to come here. Since it’s a long time that they suffer from their illnesses, they have really no hope of improving at all with the cares we provide at the unit.
    This is true in some cases although not always. However, even if they are not going to get better, they will not get worse, which is very important given their condition.
    I have talked to one of my patients yesterday. She has mobility difficulties because of her arthritis. She’s very nice and she’s maybe right. I can understand her point of view. Nevertheless, as professional nurse, I have to do my best. I would like I could help more.
