That is a very pertinent point-perhaps we should also lobby for a reduced fee for new registrants?

Although my medical, legal and architect friends have to pay far more to aintain their registration they have significantly higher earning potential ver the life-time of their careers. In addition, a number of their mployers contribute to their fees, and/or membership of professional body hich gives professional indemnity insurance. That is not generally the case or nurses. Those of us who have progressed up the career ladder are more able, but erhaps not very willing, to pay more for their registration. Newly ualified members of the profession are less financially secure.
