Reported amounts may include overtime or expenses; these figures are not typical base salaries. Role matching uses published title keywords and can include related roles.

Highest disclosed records

Negotiated base salary — standard general-duty RN

Contract wage grid, entry step to top step, before overtime, shift premiums or responsibility pay — this is what a typical registered nurse is actually paid. The disclosed averages above fold in overtime and only count nurses over each province’s disclosure threshold, so they run above the grid. Terminology note: in BC, Alberta and Manitoba an “RPN” is a Registered Psychiatric Nurse paid on the RN scale, while in Ontario “RPN” means Registered Practical Nurse (an LPN, paid well below RN).
