Registered Nurse Salary in Spain

Registered Nurse pay in Spain: Madrid leads, Barcelona trails

The Spain national median for a registered nurse is 60.900 € a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 41.700 € in Barcelona to 43.200 € in Madrid (1×).

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 44.500 €–81.000 € 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 Spanish city.

Madrid sits -29% vs the national median; Barcelona sits -32%. Relocating inside Spain 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.

Spain shows about 2.7% 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.
