A 48-hour walkout over the first May bank holiday will include nurses in critical care services.
Previous strikes by nurses from the RCN had an exemption allowing for cover in critical care areas of hospitals
The Royal College of Nursing has rejected the pay offer for England while Unison workers accepted it. The walkout from 20:00 BST on 30 April to 20:00 on 2 May will involve NHS nurses in emergency departments, intensive care, cancer and other wards.The announcement comes just as the NHS is getting back to normal after a four-day walkout by junior doctors - who are demanding a 35% pay rise - which ended at 07:00 on Saturday.
"But with nursing staff, obviously that represent a significant proportion of the workforce, taking action in those areas as well that will present an unprecedented level of action, that we haven't yet seen from nursing stuff and therefore the challenges with that, the organisation and all the work that go into managing and mitigating that will be enormous," he said.
