Nurse Injector Employment Outlook in Alberta

 Things Looks Promising…

The employment outlook for cosmetic nurse injectors in Alberta is looking very good for the 2025-2026 period. The growing interest in non-surgical aesthetic enhancements, coupled with a national shortage of nurses, is driving a strong demand for skilled professionals in this specialized field.

Up and Coming Nurses to Graduate Soon

As of 2025, Alberta has seen a notable increase in nursing student enrolment, particularly due to targeted government investments and efforts to address rural healthcare shortages. For example, the province invested $1.6 million to create 132 new seats in the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Alberta (U of A), and 96 new seats at the University of Calgary (U of C).

According to the U of A, an average of 271 rural students enrolled annually over the past three years. Also, Indigenous student enrolment increased by 28%, reaching 100 students.

Employment Opportunities

According to the Alberta Learning Information System (ALIS), Registered Nurses and Licensed Practical Nurses are seeing a “hot” 3 year forecast in Alberta with close to 1000 new positions being created. While many of these positions are being created for the medical field, Nurse Injectors can find full-time and part-time opportunities in medical spas and private clinics.

While salaries vary by experience, location, and practice type, the average hourly pay for a Cosmetic Nurse Injector in Alberta is around $40-$47, with top earners reaching significantly higher annual salaries.

Continuing education and staying current with evolving techniques and technologies are crucial for career advancement and increased earning potential in this dynamic and rapidly growing industry.
