Here in Folsom, California, the vibrant lifestyle is often punctuated by the scenic Folsom Lake and the rich history surrounding our charming downtown area. As a local nursing professional, I can attest to the dynamic nursing job market we experience in our community. The average salary range for nurses in Folsom typically falls between $38.50 to $52.75 per hour, which translates to an annual income of approximately $80,000 to $110,000. This range aligns closely with the California state average of $44.78 hourly and $93,320 annually, but we get a bit of an edge here with the pleasant climate and the community's quality of life that makes this place truly special. For context, on a national level, BLS statistics indicate that the average registered nurse earns around $35.24 per hour, or $73,300 a year. From our historic Folsom Prison to the beautiful trails of Nimbus Flat State Park, this blend of history and nature not only enhances our personal lives but also attracts a broader community keen on enjoying everything Folsom has to offer.
I came to Folsom not knowing what to expect. Turns out, it was the right move.
In terms of overall opportunity, Folsom's nursing job market is flourishing, with a steady increase in demand projected in the coming years. NurseRecruiter estimates that we will need about 150 additional nurses over the next five years to cater to our growing population of roughly 80,000 residents, translating into an increase of about 12%. Presently, we have an estimated 1,200 nurses actively working in various healthcare settings, such as the prominent Mercy Hospital of Folsom and several outpatient clinics. Interestingly, travel nursing jobs are playing an increasingly vital role here, particularly during the spring and summer months when visitor numbers peak. This city has become a suitable destination for travel nurses seeking opportunities, thanks in part to its proximity to larger healthcare hubs like Sacramento, where nurses may find additional roles, including per diem positions that are also on the rise given the state’s robust healthcare system.
Folsom boasts a well-rounded healthcare infrastructure, highlighted by a mix of hospitals, urgent care facilities, and outpatient services that cater to various specialties, including pediatrics and cardiology. Recent investments in healthcare facilities signal a commitment to enhancing our services as our community grows. Alongside our friendly neighborhoods and local events, like the Folsom Pro Rodeo, and the celebrated annual Folsom Blues and Brews Festival, living in this area promotes both professional fulfillment and personal enjoyment. As we welcome diverse public health programs aimed at improving community well-being and healthcare access, it is clear that nursing roles here will continue to evolve. For those considering a move to our beautiful city, I encourage you to sign up for NurseRecruiter to explore the job opportunities awaiting you. Equally, employers can leverage the platform to connect with qualified local talent to meet our growing healthcare needs and continue making Folsom a fantastic place to live and work.
