Before or after overtime? My understanding is that here in Canada most nurses doing shift work make 6 figures. Hospitals are understaffed so there's lots of overtime available, and of course nursing is a 24/7 job. The night shift premium and the overtime premium multiply so picking up a single extra night shift can gross $1000.

Nurses in the U.K. don't get overtime. They can join bank nursing which is like a separate pool of nurses to cover these gaps. Pay is a bit higher but not by much.

NHS pay rates are here: https://www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/about/careers-nhs/nhs-pay-a...

Registered nurses are on band 5 and start at the bottom (22k GBP). They move up a point every year.

No band 5 nurses in the UK make six figures.

Also to add to this:

- nurses pay around 500 gbp per year for their nursing pin (registration) and union membership, which is required for insurance purposes

- nhs pensions take out a further 7%

My girlfriend is nurse in Germany and she makes under 2000€ a month. I think when she worked 100% it was 1700€ or something.
