The Royal College of Nursing wants to introduce strikes across all NHS trusts in England after previously holding industrial action in select areas.
To achieve a country-wide mandate, 50% of all eligible members must vote and the majority must say"yes" to strike action.
In an email to RCN members, Ms Cullen said:"Every day, patients are at risk due to chronic staffing shortages. The government has tried to turn people against us by saying strikes are unsafe."Record waiting lists, people left for hours in A&E, staff forced to treat patients in corridors - it's all been caused by tens of thousands of nursing vacancies, not by our strikes.
Last week, Unison, GMB, the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists and the Royal College of Midwives were among the 14 unions who supported the 5% pay offer, plus a cash top-up. Unite and the RCN both rejected the offer, with Unite saying it would take"escalating" action during the short period of time they have left as part of their mandate to strike.
