Registered nurse leaving to go to Australia

From Morning Report, 8:11 am on 3 April 2023

A registered nurse with 15 years' experience in general practice care says it's painful to be leaving for Australia, but someone has to put the bread and butter on the table. 

She's among a flow of nurses crossing the Tasman for better pay and conditions. 

Tracey Morgan says she could see the hurt in her colleagues' faces as they said their goodbyes during her last shift on Friday, thinking she's just another who's walked away. 

She spoke to Guyon Espiner.
