Nursing Careers Bloom in Scenic Redlands

Here in Redlands, California, nestled at the foothills of the beautiful San Bernardino Mountains, we take pride in our vibrant nursing job market. Known for its charming historic downtown, citrus groves, and a strong sense of community, Redlands offers a unique blend of small-town warmth with metropolitan amenities. The average salary for registered nurses in Redlands ranges between $70,000 to $90,000 annually, which, compared to California's state average of approximately $93,000 and the national average of $83,000, positions us in a sweet spot. With our local hospitals and healthcare facilities like Redlands Community Hospital and Loma Linda University Medical Center nearby, the demand for nursing talent is ever-present. This demand is fueled not just by our immediate area but also by proximity to larger cities such as Riverside and San Bernardino, making us an attractive option for nurses looking for both stability and adventure.

The teams I've worked with in Redlands have been some of the best in my career.

Analyzing the broader nursing job market in Redlands reveals robust opportunities characterized by growth and a promising future. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics highlights a national trend projecting over 200,000 new nursing jobs annually, and here in our region, we estimate a need for approximately 250 new nurses in the next five years. With an existing workforce of about 2,000 nurses in Redlands, we are well-positioned to meet these projections. Moreover, Redlands is seeing a significant rise in travel nursing and per diem roles, driven by seasonal surges in patient care needs, particularly during the flu season and summer months when many families seek medical attention. While Redlands has a competitive edge, cities like Riverside and San Bernardino provide distinct opportunities and slightly lower salary averages, creating a diverse landscape for nursing employment in our region. Trust me, information from NurseRecruiter indicates that those looking to join or explore new job opportunities should certainly consider the flourishing offerings in Redlands.

Our city is not only rich in healthcare opportunities but also boasts a strong infrastructure that support healthcare needs with a range of facilities specializing in various nursing specialties. We have around five major hospitals and numerous outpatient clinics that offer all kinds of nursing roles, from pediatrics to geriatric care. In recent years, there have been sustainable investments in healthcare facilities and services, enhancing our local community's access to quality care. The population of Redlands is just over 70,000 and is projected to grow steadily, indicating ongoing demand for healthcare services and nursing talent. Additionally, our public health initiatives, such as free health fairs and vaccination drives, highlight the vital roles nurses play in our community. Living in Redlands means being part of an evolving landscape, surrounded by natural beauty and cultural offerings — from our classic downtown cinema to annual citrus festivals. Our nursing professionals will continue to thrive here, and I encourage both current nurses and those considering a move to explore the amazing opportunities available through NurseRecruiter, where employers can also find local talent to meet their staffing needs.
