Two hospitals in Essex are turning to Spain in a bid to fill shortages in nursing posts.
Colchester General and Essex County Hospitals are already in the process of introducing 68 new nurses from Madrid, but need more to satisfy demand.
A second recruitment campaign will take place this month.
Despite recruiting newly-registered nurses locally, hospital bosses say they need more qualified staff and so need to look abroad.
Acting director of nursing at Colchester General, Kathy French, said it was a question of "supply and demand".
