Nurses are considering a late pay offer from District Health Boards making a last minute attempt to avoid a massive nationwide strike.
Around 30,000 members of the Nurses Organisation are planning to stop work on 9 June after turning down an earlier offer they say was 1.4 percent.
Industrial organiser Glenda Alexander says nurses now have until midday Monday to make a decision on the new offer.
Alexander told health correspondent Rowan Quinn, that before the latest offer, Waikato DHB made a formal approach to nurses asking them to halt strike action there as it grapples with the fall out from its cyber attack.
She says if the strike goes ahead, it will be everywhere.
