   Hi, Alyson 
I'm a belgium nurse who wants to go to the Uk working. I didn't realise that it was so difficult to get a job as a nurse. 
Is the situation so bad???Is it so difficult newly qualified nurses to find a job??
Thanks, Deia

	Yes, the job situation for nurses in the NHS is very bad, as it is for all health care professions. If you know which area in the UK you would like to work in you can find the NHS trust's website using Google and see if they are advertising any nursing vacancies. You are more likely to get work if you join a nursing agency, but that would most likely be work in nursing homes, not in the NHS. You could do that type of work until an NHS vacancy came up. Good luck.
