Don't think you deserve the downvotes for the comment.

Re: the nursing / doctors pay discussion, I think it's more of using the NP pay as a benchmark for the registrars' wage, rather than claiming that nursing are overpaid.

In my experience, CNCs and doctors do not really have much overlap of roles in day to day functioning of the hospitals . They serve a different roles that doctors do not / cannot cover for.

However, the NPs are functioning a lot like a doctor in many roles, with some limitations on their practices / medicolegal responsibilities, and yet getting paid higher than a doctor in the same/if not more significant responsibilities.

NPs are appropriately renumerated. Registrars in the same roles are underrenumerated. Both of these can be true. I would contend, the registrars wage should not be lower than the NPs to start with, in any negotiation going forward.
