As a local nurse, I’ve seen firsthand the diversity of opportunities available here, including a salary range that averages between $82,000 and $94,000 annually for nurses, significantly higher than the California state average of about $78,000 and the national average of approximately $77,600.

With an estimated 1,200 registered nurses currently working in Scotts Valley, this reflects a robust landscape that caters to various specialties. Our nearby cities, such as Santa Cruz, Aptos, and Capitola, also boast a mix of nursing opportunities, although salaries may slightly differ due to cost of living variations; for instance, nurses in Santa Cruz average about $90,000 annually. travel nursing positions are becoming increasingly popular here, especially during the summer season when the influx of tourists amplifies the existing strain on healthcare facilities. Per diem work opportunities are also on the rise, making our city attractive for those looking for flexible schedules. In total, we have four major healthcare employers, including Sutter Health and Dignity Health, contributing to our burgeoning local nursing sector.
