£32k is the top band 5 pay£27k is a very good starting salary, what is the average pay after 5 years?
My girlfriend is band 7 and can prescribe drugs and is on £41k.
I've never even been to uni and I'm on over 50k in tech, it's messed up.
Nurse pay has been improved but not in line with where it should be sat at - they've had below inflation pay "rises" for ages the difference with this starting salary and other graduate roles is after a couple of years you would be in a "full" role as a grad having learned the ropes. The only way to do that in nursing is to enter management or a specialism. If you just want to be a nurse and help people on the front line you don't have a lot of options.
For reference a graduate area manager for Aldi earns 44k
