Bands- what does it mean?

Hi nurses! Just curious, in the UK nurses apparently are categorised by "bands"? As seen in job-ads, for example: "Nurse Band 5 required for position..." Is there a document that standardises exacly what skills you require to be of a certain "band"? Or is it just depending on work experience, number of years in the profession?

    Bands is just the pay scale level that nurses meet, band 5 is the starting point for newly qualified nurses. Try looking for RCN pay scale

    Oh wow. I saw the title on this thread and thought you were talking about the white blood cell count differential. As in "bands and stabs." Silly me.
