There is a shortage of nurses in UK.

I currently get #12.70 pounds per hour for Community work, but I have since heard another agency is giving 20 pounds per hour for same.

The NHS put their wages up by 3.6% and another agency put their's up by 30%.

How does that figure compare to US ?

To compare apples with apples:

Top pay for PRN at one hospital I am working at - PRN wages are $ 24. Agency pay is $ 28. The hospital I am currently at is paying me $ 34.00 - I do not know what their PRN staff is paid. I would imagine around $ 27 to 29.

So... your 30% sounds very good.

Hiya
Im up in Scotland but i make £18.50($32.80 )to £22.50( $45.22) a hour depending on the day of the week and time of day. For holidays the rate is even higher and if you are a specialty nurse the base rates are higher still.The agency i work for is one of the better paying.So i don't know what other agency's rates are like..
