'I felt like I wasn't doing enough for patients because I was so overstretched' - Irish nurses on why they moved abroadMichelle Matthews (27) works as a nurse in Abu Dhabi I never planned on leaving Ireland to work. Hospitals will only train up their permanent staff so if you're with an agency, you're not technically not counted as staff. Aine O'Connor (26) works as a nurse in London I had always wanted to move to London. There are lots of highly-skilled nurses working within the NHS (although this might change after Brexit) because they understand the system is one of the best. But the hardest thing about working at home for me was not feeling like I was doing enough for the patients because I was so overstretched.
