Public hospital nursing pay, index-based salary grades and professional framework.
Nurses employed in the French public hospital service are paid according to a statutory index-based structure. Salary depends on grade and échelon.
| Grade | Structure | Indicative gross monthly base |
|---|---|---|
| 1st grade — infirmier en soins généraux | 11 échelons | €2,102 – €3,579 |
| 2nd grade | 11 échelons | Higher indexed progression |
| 3rd grade / senior progression | 9 échelons | Higher indexed progression |
Progression takes place through échelons and grades according to the statutory career structure. The official framework is expressed through indices rather than one flat national nursing salary.
Additional allowances may apply according to role, working conditions, location, shift work and public-service rules.
Public hospital nursing remuneration is index-based. Indicative salary figures should be read together with the applicable grade, échelon and allowances.
