Recession on Indian Nurses- Working in Abroad Countries!

In good old times, young nurses will always be fond of dreaming and gaining better abroad opportunities to upgrade their career.

But unfortunately, the slow universal economic pace and few countries rigid policies have put down the overseas job scenarios.

Over the past three years, the Tamil Nadu Nurses and Midwives Council have been perceived a jagged decline in the quantity of verification they obtain from overseas recruitment panels and distant institutions.

The count of verification requests for candidates used to be around 4000 and 2000 during 90s and three years back respectively. And now, the abroad trend has been corkscrewed and the council has been acquiring hardly 480 verifications during last year. These verifications are actually one step before the real recruitment and therefore the recruitment count will even be worse obliviously.

The count of verification requests not only descended in TamilNadu, but also all over the country, says Ani Grace Kalaimathi, Registrar of Tamil Nadu Nurses and Midwives Council.

Nurses, have to take up the NCLEX exams to get jobs in foreign countries including US, England, New Zealand, Australia, Germany and countries in West Asia.

The stringent policies, strict punishments and series of racist attacks has stopped nurses to look forward for abroad opportunities, says Chellammal Mariappan, the chief secretary of Trained Nurses Association of India, Tamil Nadu branch.
