11/12/2009: "degree trained nurses"

from 2013, nurses must have degrees to qualify in the profession the government has announced.

a total disgrace i think this is - nothing more than yet another money making scheme!

costs will increase:
- for the nurses themselves, many will have to pay off student loans
- for the civil servants needed to administer the funding, the training, the courses
- for the hospitals

how does this tie in with an open door immigration policy that lets people from abroad come here if they have nursing qualifications? do these people have to be degree trained?

i believe this is completely wrong and should be voted against in the house of commons!
