Well!, I have been following the board since January. Only this time, seeing the situation, I could not resist posting a message. What I have happened to find out, that the situation with the NHS nurses might not improve in the coming months. In fact, when the applications of so many non-EU nurses have been cleared without any significant hurdle, this has only given some recruiters all the more reasons to intensify their efforts.
For example, see the screenshot below:

Clearly, more interviews are on the line. Due to this I cannot foresee the situation improving, even in April.
I see that a number of people are speculating that the cutoff may come down. I think the only action apart from praying that some of us here could take is to ask their respective companies, and/or lawyers to write to the authorities such as IoD (institute of directors), or MPs or something/someone else to describe the situation.
One possible solution is exempting the NHS nurses from the monthly quota. The other possible solution is removing nurses from the shortage occupation list (this would ensure that they are not given unfair advantage with very high points, and compete with the rest of the pool on a fair basis.)
I am pretty sure that some of the people who have been refused due to low number of points are extremely critical to the survival of their companies.These smaller companies cannot increase their salaries due to operating constraints. If these companies write to the concerned people, who knows something positive might come out.
I also see that a number of people have a lot at stake (especially those who have previously worked here and have friends, colleagues and a lot of memories). I hope everyone, with points up to 21 get their CoSs approved.
