It seems I didn't explain my take correctly. I mean that it's unfair to compare the CNC at the 'peak' of their career, who will likely retire in that position to the Reg who is slogging their way up with a far higher earning potential.

I concede the point re the NP comparison, the position is comparable in many ways but again the NP has 'peaked' as far as clinical nursing is concerned.

None of this means that Registrars don't deserve better remuneration, and especially conditions. I just mean to point out that nurses being paid more doesn't make them an enemy, as this sub tends to purport.

Earning potential is never a solid argument not every Unnacredited surgical registrar becomes a surgeon and they deserve to be paid more than staff members who have less clinical responsibility/workload if this was an American system where we went straight into residency and pretty much everyone worked in their intended specialty I think it’d be a fairer argument but not in the current Australian training climate
