Questions and answers
How much do nurses make in Alberta?
On the 2025 Sunshine List, 148 nurses were paid $159,676 or more, with a median of $182,710. Job Bank’s survey wages for everyone in the occupation are on this page.
Which employer has the most on the list?

Which job titles are counted?
Those that match the profession’s rule: job titles that name a nurse (nurse, registered nurse, RN, RPN, nurse practitioner, infirmière), except managers, directors, chiefs, vice-presidents, executives and aides. Titles are as each employer wrote them.
Why are the list and Job Bank shown separately?
The list has public employees paid above its line; Job Bank’s survey covers everyone in the occupation, public and private, at every pay. Pooling them would describe neither.
What is “compensation”?
The one pay figure Alberta publishes for each person for the year, shown as published. Alberta does not publish taxable benefits separately, so none are shown. How the lists work
