Nurses make $25k a year in London

Nurses aren't specialists, their greatest knowledge is how to dust a table. They are labourers in clean uniform

It might be an important job, but it's not a hard job

true, but it's still a low pay even if that was the case, especially considering nurse is a job that involves a high degree of responsibility and risk of infection and such

That's after tax, right?

I know for a fact that nurses can do side work for private agencies where they get paid much higher hourly wages. So they work for the NHS 3 days a week and then do agency work the other two. Sometimes during their agency work they are still working on their normal ward, just with much more pay (at public expense). It's part of the reason why there is a "shortage" of nurses in the NHS and why they need to resort to paying for private agency staff in the first place, it's like a vicious cycle.

Dumb take.

Wow, your pollies have actual shit for brains user. That's pretty fucking sad.

It's not like they can go on strike to demand better pay any more, as the government can just import more nurses from Nigeria. IIRC, a huge portion of the NHS staff is already foreign.

would stick nurses on the minimum wage if it were up to me, fuck the nhs

It's true though. Nurses may be important, but they're replaceable. That's why they don't get paid much. It's like how water is cheap despite it being one of the most important things for survival.

Bongs hire filipino nurses amd pays them for cheap shit

Not saying that it isn't low, but comparing median wages across wildly different nations doesn't really make sense, especially considering US salaries/wages where stuff like healthcare and pension savings isn't necessarily deducted.

>give nurses crap wages
>allow them to work part time in private agencies with 5x the pay
>they obviously take up the opportunity
>less available work hours from NHS nurses
>trusts are forced to hire temporary agency staff to plug the gap
>private agency companies obviously take their cut for doing nothing
>their shareholders make massive profits

They literally hire the same nurses back at multiple times pay, except the money goes through private businesses first. It's definitely all going to plan so someone influential can enrich themselves

Ayy lmao

Our nurses are overpaid and they spend most of their time on the job making tiktoks and protesting other peoples protests. It's why we have more deaths than anybody else.
