The nursing job market here in Mission Viejo is thriving, with strong growth projected over the next few years. NurseRecruiter estimates that we will need approximately 250 new nurses in our city by 2028, driven largely by an aging population and the increased demand for medical services. Currently, our city has over 1,500 registered nurses working across various healthcare settings, including major employers like Mission Hospital, which is part of the Providence Healthcare system, as well as numerous outpatient clinics and specialty care centers. In terms of travel nursing, Mission Viejo serves as a sought-after location for traveling healthcare professionals, particularly in the summer months when tourist activity peaks—bringing an influx of visitors needing medical services. Additionally, with around 300 per diem nursing jobs available, the flexible work options here are appealing for both local and traveling nurses.
