Walkout by Royal College of Nursing members in more than half of services expected by end of year.
RCN general secretary Pat Cullen said: "Anger has become action - our members are saying enough is enough.""Ministers must look in the mirror and ask how long they will put nursing staff through this."The strike will be the first time UK-wide action is taken by RCN members in its 106-year history.
Ms Cullen said members would ensure patients did not come to harm by continuing to provide urgent and emergency care during the strikes. It comes after the waiting list for hospital treatment has topped 7 million in England - a record high. "My family were horrified, but it was the choice of that or going into debt each month. I just could not afford it.
The RCN said in services where the turnout threshold was not met the vast majority of those who took part supported walking out.Some nurses at local management bodies and national organisations including NHS England will also be striking after voting in favour.It pointed out it had given a pay rise in line with what had been recommended by the independent NHS Pay Review body.
