Nurses have voted to strike. How much do they earn at the moment?
Nurses across the UK have voted for strike action over pay. The Royal College of Nursing , which represents two thirds of UK nurses, says they have been getting a "raw deal" on pay for years.
The mean and median for nurses themselves tend to be very similar, because there are not many nurses who are very highly paid. There are also 306 nurses in Band 9, who are chief nurses or deputy chief nurses and can earn between £95,135 and £109,475.RCN members voted for action in every service in Scotland and Northern Ireland and on all but one health board in Wales.The starting salary of a nurse in NHS Scotland is £26,104. An experienced nurse at the top of Band 5 earns around £33,000.
Nurses' pay has not kept up with rising prices since 2010. They have had a real terms pay cut of more than 10%.
