In short:

About 50,000 nurses and midwives have walked off the job across NSW.

The NSW Nurses and Midwives Association have been in an ongoing pay dispute with the government, brought to a head this week after police were offered a historic 39 per cent increase.

What's next?

The NSW government is considering arbitration in the Industrial Relations Commission.
