Occupation: Other nursing professionals (SOC 2020 2237). ASHE has no single code for all registered nurses; these figures are for SOC 2020 2237 "Other nursing professionals", the largest nursing group, which takes in registered nurses outside the named groups (midwifery, community, specialist, mental health and children's nurses, nurse practitioners). ASHE annual pay covers full-time employees who have been in the same job for more than a year, for the tax year ending 5 April; the number of jobs is indicative only. Regional figures are by place of work (ASHE Table 15); ONS publishes no Northern Ireland or percentile figures at that level.
