Union boss Pat Cullen urges ministers to reopen pay talks in England after her members rejected a 5% offer.
The leader of the Royal College of Nursing has called on the health secretary to restart pay negotiations with a proposed rise in double digits.
, Ms Cullen said: "Looking back on this pay offer, I may personally have underestimated the members and their sheer determination." Nurses in England went on strike for 24 hours on 1 May - it was the first time RCN members walked out of all areas, including intensive care. "Nurses believe it's their duty and their responsibility because this government is not listening to them on how to bring it back from the brink and the message to the prime minister is that they are absolutely not going to blink first in these negotiations," she added.
Some unions rejected the offer, including the RCN and Unite, but it was accepted after a majority was reached. Both unions warned they would continue to pursue strike action.
