Nursing Specialty with Highest Pay in Canada?

World International

Published

Just curious to know which nursing specialty has the highest pay in Canada.

In the U.S., they have "Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist" aka CRNA.

It's a 24 month Masters program, and the entry level pay after graduating is about $120,000

*note that in 2025, it will change to a Doctorate program*

The Canadian equivalent, as for as I could tell, is the Anesthesia Assistant, a post-diploma program offered by Michener, TRU, and a few others. I haven't figured found how much they are paid, rumors say about $85,000.

Anyone know if any nursing specialties pay higher?

On a side note, does anyone know of any nursing jobs in a business related setting?

Specializes in geriatrics.

.85 means I'm working at 85 percent of a full time equivalency. 100 percent is 40 shifts in a 3 month rotation. I work 34 shifts in 3 months.

.70 means 70 percent of full time. That's about 28 shifts in 3 months.

Within 4 years, I plan to find something that's a .70. That's enough for me.
