What is the starting salary for a Nurse in 2021?​

A newly qualified Band 5 NHS Nurse currently earns £24,907.

The vast majority of Nurses will work for the NHS once qualified, but it is possible to enter the workforce at a private institution.

Here, the pay is unregulated, but as a starting wage you’re likely to earn a similar or slightly higher rate of pay.

But keep in mind the benefits package too.

As an NHS worker, the benefits you’ll receive will be difficult to match.

What is the average salary for a Nurse?​

The Royal College of Nursing have estimated that the average annual salary of an NHS Nurse is £33,384.


This might not be the right thread, but I was surprised at how high that average is - thought it would be lower.

Not to say that a 1% pay rise isn't insulting, I just though that nurses on average earned less than they actually do (and yes, I am aware how an average works).

Good friend of mine is a fully qualified nurse and has been for the past 10 years...she earns nowhere near £34k a year.
And yet ignorant tory ministers like Nadine dorries spout crap like no other public sector workers have had a pay rise so why should nurses expect one?
Repeat the £34k mantra often enough and the public will start to believe it
Mps pay rise of 11% in October last year?
Hypocrites.

This hasn't come from the tories. It's just on an official site.

Like I said, it's an average.

I have friends who are nurses and neither of them will be on £34k.

Aye, MPs across the aisle vote on those pay rises too. It's a disgrace.

I know its from an "official" site, ie Government prpaganda. Tory MPs do not give a toss about nurses or the NHS....that is my point

'government propaganda ffs.

This is vetted and verified information. Just because your friend isn't on £34k doesn't mean that that's not the average.

My mate's about to start in the police. His starting wage is about 20k. Doesn't mean that's the average, does it.
 
More outright lying from Johnson at PMQ's today.


It’s a recurring trend on the right to refuse any accountability at all. Never back down or admit a mistake as that leaves you open for further attacks. Just deny and deflect and await the next news cycle. Which in today’s age is only a matter of days instead of weeks.
To their credit, the left and centre haven’t been as quick to sacrifice their principles.

It is the standard of the lies that are the most offensive - that one took about fifteen minutes to disprove, and theres Hansard and video evidence showing what was said. To put an Everton spin on it, it would be like Gomes going into the post match interview for the Chelsea game saying how delighted he was with his two goals.

What average though? It matters whether it's mean, median, or mode and will no doubt produce quite different results. Mean isn't great for trying to show what a nurse will earn.

Payscale.com suggests median is just over £25k - I can't attest to the veracity of the this

Well I assumed (maybe wrongly) that the average is just the mean of all the earnings?
