A nurse living and working in Australia shared some of the reasons nurses are leaving the UK.

She also said some nurses do not like the cold weather in the UK. She said it was part of the reason she moved to Australia.

Also, Nurse Deo said it is far easier to get a permanent residency permit in Australia as compared to the UK.

How much do registered nurses earn in Australia?

Checks show that one can receive a permanent residency visa to live in Australia once the requirements are met.

The government website states:

"You can become a permanent resident of Australia by applying for and being granted a permanent visa that allows you to remain in Australia indefinitely. The most common permanent visas include some skilled work and family visas."

Also, while a registered nurse makes $82,815 per year in Australia, their counterparts in the UK earn $46,131, according to Talents.com.

Reactions to Nurse Deo's video

@Mazvita Selemani said:

"To make it fair, it would be good to make a video on why someone could stay in the UK instead of Australia eg racism and higher rent, cost of living."

@Brezhrach commented:

"Do they speak English in Australia."

@Tapisserie said:

"I think anyone that decided to stay in the UK as a healthcare professional does not know their worth. Best decision I made was leave. And I’m never going back."
