Are there any countries where nurses are genuinely well paid and valued, or is being underpaid the norm everywhere?

Here in Australia, pay varies a lot by state and sector. My base rate is $39 per hour in a public hospital, but in another state it would be $32. Public pays more than private across the country. One very fancy private hospital in my city pays $29 per hour for the same role.

Protests and our unions have gotten us raises, but imo it’s still not enough for the shit we deal with everyday.
