Based on a 5 day week that £150 it is only the equivalent of £39k PA. Not exactly rock-star wages.
Eh? £39k PA is a very good wage. Its £16k more than the NQ nurses who work in A&E with me get paid.
3 years of university, completing a minimum of 2,300 hours of placements and 2,300 hours of academic study to become a registered nurse for a starting wage £6k less than a fire fighter, sorry if my heart doesn't bleed a little for them.
Yes, yes, I know. No one forced us to do it etc...
