healthcare system for England and one of the four National Health
Services for each constituent country of the United Kingdom. It is the
largest single-payer healthcare system in the world. Primarily funded
through the government funding and overseen by the Department of
Health and Social Care, NHS England provides healthcare to all legal
English residents, with most services free at the point of use. Some
services, such as emergency treatment and treatment of infectious diseases,
are free for everyone, including visitors.

3. How much annual leave does a grade B nurse get?

The amount of leave a grade b nurse gets depends on two key factors.
How much their place of employment gives and if its paid leave or not.
One hospital may offer 10 days of leave but only four days are paid. While
another hospital may offer six days of leave and they are all paid.
4. How many hours a week does a nurse work?

The schedule of a registered nurse is generally dependent on who they


work for, whether or not there is a high demand for RN’s in the area and
any wage/benefit discussions that have been negotiated prior to/during
their employment.

In terms of a daily schedule registered nurses can often be found working


5-8 hour days, 4-10 hour days or 3-12 hour days per week.

RN’s that work 8 or 10 hour days typically work about 40 hours or so per


week, however nurses that work 12 hour days may end up working around
36 hours per week.

In either case both the 36 hour and 40 hour work weeks are generally
considered full-time work for registered nurses.

These hours do not include any voluntary/required overtime, which may


be common in some health care facilities.
