As for the pay, I used to go out with a student nurse and she told me that agency nurses can earn around £28 per hour!!

I certainly remember headlines many years ago about nurses being poorly paid and they were comparing their wages to police officers. They were saying people were not being attracted to the proffesion because of the poor wages. I am sure there was a lot of fuss about their wages when Maggie Thatcher was in power.
Apparently agency nurses are getting $30-50 an hour these days.
