Five countries with the highest nurse salary level

Unread post by Kunle Emmanuel »

Nursing is one of the most lucrative professions in the world, and finding a job is relatively easy in most countries. However, there are many regulations and certifications involved based on the country you would want to work

Luxembourg
In this little country of Western Europe nurses earn $60.000 per year at first eight years of work, and after that period they even able to earn $125.000 for a year of work, and it considers as highest nurse salary level in the world. But, it should be said that it is extremely difficult to get a job as a nurse in this tiny country.

United States
In this country, the salary of nurses is above the average salary level of other jobs. The lowest salary of nurses in the US is $45,000 per year. 10% of nurses earn over $94,000.

Norway
This is the country with one of the highest levels of living standard in the world. Nurses there can earn from $50,000 to $100,000 per year.

Canada
This country is known for its great developed healthcare system, the level of salary for nurses is between $48.000 - $55.000. More experienced nurses can earn $65.000

Australia
In this country, an entry-level nurse earns $28 per hour, and as the level of experience grows, the nurse can reach a salary level of $60,000 per year. Now you know the level of salary for nurses in Nigeria and other countries. We hope for positive changes in the situation with salaries for medical care workers.

The Lowest Paying Countries

Countries with the lowest salaries are often those with the greatest nursing shortages, as qualified nurses who can emigrate for better wages often do so.

This can have a considerable impact on working conditions.

Many of these countries don’t have the financial wherewithal to raise salaries, so even though demand is high, salaries may remain low.

The flip side of that equation is that jobs may be more readily available.

However, that’s not always the case.

For example, in the Philippines, wages are low but nursing jobs are scarce; the Philippines is a net exporter of nurses, as is India.

Many of those nurses travel to the UK and US.

In 2016, 13 percent of nurses in the UK were Filipino and 28 percent were Indian, according to an article in TechTimes.

The Highest Paying Countries

PayWizard.org data from 2012 indicated the five highest paying countries for nurses (in US dollars) were Belgium at $16.97 an hour, Sweden at $17.27 an hour, Germany at $19.17 an hour, Spain at $21.97 an hour and The Netherlands, which topped the list at $22.08 an hour.

The US, at $16.44 an hour, was not among the top five.

An article in Euspert, which drew data from sources like Insider Monkey and different nursing surveys, rated the following countries in the top five for 2016: Denmark, Australia, Ireland, the US and Luxembourg.

Average annual salaries in those countries were $54,000, $56,000, $64,000, $70,000 and $82,000, respectively, according to Euspert.

Average wages per hour based on a 2080-hour work year were $25.96 for Denmark, $26.92 for Australia, $30.77 for Ireland, $33.65 for the US and $39.42 for Luxembourg.

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the average annual salary for RNs was $71,000 as of May 2015.

Interestingly, the Euspert article noted that none of the highest paying countries in its survey were among those countries that offered the highest job satisfaction ratings.

Those honors went to Finland, Poland, Sweden/Belgium (tie), Switzerland/Norway (tie) and The Netherlands. Euspert notes that factors like experience can affect salaries.

In Norway, for example, experienced nurses can earn as much as $100,000 in US dollars each year.

Luxembourg is a very tiny country which offers top pay – as high as $125,000 a year for experienced nurses, according to Euspert – but there are very few job openings because the health care system and country are so small.
