British Nurses: How are you doing financially?

Nurses from the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) went on strike for the first time in England last year over their pay.

RCN members rejected a pay offer of a 5% pay rise and a one-off payment of £1,655 last spring. However, the deal was supported by most other health unions and the government imposed it.

Amid challenges in recruiting and retaining nurses – the NHS in England alone has more than 40,000 nurse vacancies – we want to know how the financial pressures are impacting them.

We’d like to hear from British nurses, anonymously if you wish, about how you’re coping financially.
