The Royal College of Nursing is set to meet ministers this week to discuss the next steps.
The Welsh government has offered NHS staff a pay rise of between 4% and 5.5%, but the RCN has called for an increase in line with inflation.On Sunday, First Minister Mark Drakeford toldthat he hoped the offer would be "a basis for negotiations", which includes a one-off payment in the current financial year.
"What we cannot do - just simply haven't got the money to do - is to raise this year's offer in a way that gets consolidated in people's pay packets and goes on having to be paid for future years," he said. Ministers said they have now looked at their budgets to see if there is anything extra they can offer for discussions with unions this week.
Ms Whyley said: "I want to hear a Welsh government who are committed to sorting out the problems of Welsh nurses in Welsh hospitals looking after Welsh people and that means fair pay for those people and an approach that will give them a career across the whole of the time they are nursing in Wales."
