I did the math, y’all—
Average UK nurse’s pay:
£35,600 ($43,300)
They’re asking a 19% raise:
£42,364 ($51,527)
Base salary for those who claim the UK can’t afford it (MPs, House of Commons): £84,144 ($102,397)
(Some context for my fellow Americans—
Average salary for RNs in the US: $82,750
Median: $77,600
Lowest 10%: $59,450)
