According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Registered Nurses in California earn a mean annual salary of approximately $118,000, or roughly $56.73 an hour. For La Habra, we project average salaries to fall between $115,000 and $120,000 annually, reflecting our location within the competitive broader market.

Diving deeper into the job market, we're witnessing promising growth trends, with an estimated 15% increase in demand for nurses over the next five years due to an aging population and expansive healthcare initiatives. Currently, we estimate around 1,500 nurses serve our city, accounting for a robust nursing community. The demand for travel nursing roles has also gained traction here, especially during peak seasons around summer and winter when hospitals ramp up their staffing to address seasonal illnesses and tourism. Moreover, the city has about 6 major healthcare facilities, including La Habra's own Whittier Hospital Medical Center, making it a vital hub for nursing opportunities. When comparing us to nearby cities like Fullerton, Anaheim, and Brea, we see a slightly lower salary average, with Fullerton averaging $122,000, while Brea and Anaheim hover around $118,000.
