This is a very special and important episode, Rachel Hollis and Graham Revie speak about the importance of the Fair Pay Campaign for Nursing led by the RCN.

The Fair Pay For Nursing campaign is according to the RCN: 

• recognising the complexity of skill, responsibility and experience demonstrated every day, by nursing support workers, assistant practitioners, nursing associates, registered nurses and all members of the profession.  
• making sure that a safety critical profession can reach safe staffing levels and fill tens of thousands of unfilled nursing jobs. 
• recognising that the salaries of too many nursing professionals has not kept pace with increases to their living costs over the past decade.  

Both guests and myself encourage to vote on the indicative ballot regarding industrial action. Vote finalises on the 30 of November 2011
