Registered Nurse Salary in Poland

Registered Nurse pay in Poland: Warsaw leads, Kraków trails

The Poland national median for a registered nurse is 165 000 zł a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 104 000 zł in Kraków to 121 000 zł in Warsaw (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 120 500 zł–219 500 zł 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 Polish city.

Warsaw sits -27% vs the national median; Kraków sits -37%. Relocating inside Poland 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.

Poland shows about 3.8% 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.
