There are 11 y old kids in the crowd. Criminals or not, imagine what would happened next if a kid like this got killed. Besides, what I read somewhere, there was no precedence of using rubber bullets in the UK except of the regular street fight in Norther Ireland. It is not so comfortable for the p...

Registered psychiatric nurse, Registered nurse, midwife

My wife is a registered nurse/ midwife as above with a nursing degree from uk she is here on a DP, does she have a chance of employment here? Any idea what a nurse/ midwife earns? She is unsure if she wants to work, but she does not want to attend a lot of fruitless interviews...

Thanks

Dear JR8, I'm not a professional diamond reader nor am i a gemologist. Far-fetched notion for me,especially where De Beers is concerned.
