      While it’s good they got something, this is a fucking pathetic offer. RNs are getting absolutely fucking shafted. Why are AINs getting such a better offer when they have less education and less responsibilities compared to Registered Nurses, an absolute fucking piss take.

      I wish they didn’t have to fight for payrises. Nurses, teachers, ambos etc. should all have solid pay rises built in inherently, especially since how many of them are understandably quitting. We pay them such a pittance for how much they do and then they have to fight and beg for reasonable wages 🙁 But I understand the world is not this simple and clear-cut.

      RN here. We aren’t happy about this. We asked for 35% and got  16% over 3 years for RN’s, 18% for EN’s and 28% for AIN’s. And NO increased in sick leave, teachers somehow have more. We also still aren’t on parity with Victoria and Queensland. And it pisses me off that the media and Chris Fuckwit Minns is going to spin this as if he was doing us a favour.

      They deserve the pay rise. My poor nursing friends deal with so much crap in their jobs and don’t earn as much as I thought they would.

      Hopefully a bit of this can carry on to other sections of government. 2.5%-3% pay increases are a joke. My old department didn’t have any pay increases for a few years because the enterprise agreement wasn’t accepted.

      >Registered nurses will receive a “one-off reset” of a 10 per cent pay rise in the first year, backdated to July 1, 2025, with a 3 per cent pay rise the following two years.

      Agree to disagree on that being major. It’s a ripper the first year then may as well be a pay cut the next two.
