Re-training as a Nurse

DKLS

Its not all bad news, and nursing is great if you are considering working abroad in the future, one of my best mates qualified about 10 yrs ago, got a position in a ED unit, and took as much training as they would through at her, 3 years later she tripled her salary by re-locating to Dubai, where she saved enough money to buy her house outright, she then scarpered to California for a new job, and is married to a plastic surgeon..:rolleyes:
She always was a lucky bint.

Just out of interest, what is the take home pay for a newly qualified nurse?

I think the annual salary for a newly qualified is 19,645 (or should be after the 2.1% payrise in Nov 07 (they claimed it was 2.5% but as it was staged over the year its not really!)

On top of this you get extra for weekends and nights, Bank hols and an extra 5%, 15% or 20% of salary for in and around London.

Still not a lot for 3 years of study and huge amount of responsibility! Plus you need to pay £70 odd pounds per year for registration and really should join a union at over £100 per year.

Thanks, but how much is that in take home pay?



Got it - it's £291 for anyone else interested...
