She lamented that after taxes and other various deductions, she’s left with just £1,973 (equivalent to approximately N3.8 million).
She pointed out the prevalent misconception among some husbands that their wives’ nursing salaries suffice for the family’s needs.
In her words;
“It’s high time men in the diaspora whose wives are Nurses step up and start helping in the family. I don’t think I have seen any family surviving on one income in the UK.”
Netizens Reactions:
@Figer Walata said; “A lot of people make more money than nurses. Business analysts.”
@Jennifer Chino said; “Nursing career is just name. Most HCA receive more than the nurses.”
@Mrs K said; “I am a team leader in a care home and I bring home £2500 after tax and other deductions….all nurses should be considering care homes not NHS.”
@nelsongarande said; “I am in Africa, December alone my hustle made me in excess of US$7,000 and I finished my house, yet we still want to find a way to come to the UK, crazy.”
A nurse is a person who is trained to give care to people who are sick or injured. Nurses work with doctors and other health care workers to make patients well and to keep them fit and healthy. Nurses also help with end-of-life needs and assist other family members with grieving.
Nursing is a profession, like a doctor, but training for a nurse is different in how long a person must train and what kind of training they need. In some places, nurses may train for three to five years or more before they get a license as a nurse.
Nurses work in many places. Nurses work in hospitals, in doctor’s offices, and in the community, and they even visit people at home if they can not get out.
