The Wellington group marched to Parliament this afternoon to present a petition of more than 30,000 signatures.
The march, held on International Nurses Day, is the climax of a Facebook page called "New Zealand, please hear our voice" that was started by two anonymous nurses in March.
Marches took place in Auckland, Wellington, Tauranga, New Plymouth, Palmerston North, Whanganui, Hastings, Gisborne, Nelson, Hamilton, Dunedin and Whangarei.
Chronic understaffing, under-resourcing, missed breaks, unpaid overtime, and unfair wages were just a few of the frustrations highlighted.
