Type a pay figure to see where it falls among Job Bank’s wages for nurses in a region, and where it would rank on the list. It is worked out in your browser: nothing you type is sent or kept. Job Bank covers everyone in the occupation at every level of experience, so a percentile is a comparison, not a verdict on what a job should pay.

Questions and answers

How much do nurses make in Manitoba?

On the 2025 Sunshine List, 7,219 nurses were paid $85,000 or more, with a median of $119,100. Job Bank’s survey wages for everyone in the occupation are on this page.

Which employer has the most on the list?

Shared Health, with 2,141 in 2025.

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 “total compensation”?

The one pay figure Manitoba publishes for each person for the year, shown as published. Manitoba does not publish taxable benefits separately, so none are shown. How the lists work
