The NHS is braced for the walkout by Royal College of Nursing members in a dispute over pay.
The Royal College of Nursing is due to unveil the results of a ballot, which ended last week, in the next few days.
She added: "Our strike action will be as much for patients as it is for nurses. We have their support in doing this." In Scotland, 5% was initially offered to NHS staff, but that has been changed to a flat rate of just over £2,200, which works out at just over 8% for a newly-qualified nurse. In Northern Ireland, nurses are yet to receive a pay award.During the ballot, the RCN had argued this year's below-inflation pay award came after years of squeezes on nurse's salaries.
The RCN said the average pay for a full-time established nurse was just above £32,000 last year - similar to average pay across the economy.
