Registered Nurse pay in Italy: Milan leads, Rome trails

The Italy national median for a registered nurse is 57.400 € a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 37.200 € in Rome to 45.300 € in Milan (1.2×).

Registered nurses provide and coordinate patient care across clinics, hospitals, and community settings. Common screening skills include Patient care, Clinical assessment, EMR, and Empathy.

A modeled national band runs about 41.900 €–76.300 € around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +6% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Italian city.

Milan sits -21% vs the national median; Rome sits -35%. Relocating inside Italy for this title can move cash more than a small raise at the same desk. Open a city page for take-home and rent context — this national page is the map, not the offer.

Italy shows about 1.5% CPI in 2025. A registered nurse raise that trails inflation is a real-pay cut even if it still beats last year’s peers. This occupation is also covered in 39 other countries — useful for remote or relocation shortlists, after FX and local tax. Nearby healthcare titles on this site include Nurse Practitioner, Physician, Pharmacist, and Physical Therapist.
