Caring for Casselberry, One Patient at a Time

Nestled in the scenic embrace of Central Florida, Casselberry is a vibrant and growing city known for its lush parks, refreshing lakes, and a welcoming community spirit. Here in Casselberry, we take pride in our healthcare system which has proven to be a vital part of our community fabric. The nursing job market here reflects both the city’s growth and the increasing demand for skilled healthcare professionals. According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the national average for registered nurses is approximately $39.39 per hour or $82,750 annually, while Florida's figures come in slightly lower at about $37.16 hourly or $77,260 annually. In Casselberry specifically, I estimate that our average nursing salaries range from $33 to $45 per hour—this reflects our local cost of living and the growing demand for nurses as our population continues to expand. We boast proximity to scenic attractions like the beautiful Lake Concord Park, which only adds to our quality of life, making it an alluring spot for both residents and potential travel nurses.

Sometimes smaller communities offer the best nursing experience. Casselberry proved that to me.

The nursing job market in Casselberry is robust and on an upward trend, with a projected need for around 400 new nurses over the next five years as our population is expected to grow by 8%. Currently, there’s an estimated pool of about 1,500 nurses employed in the area, a number that reflects the increasing healthcare facilities sprouting throughout the region. For practitioners in travel and per diem nursing, Casselberry sees a steady demand; there are seasonal fluctuations but primarily the summer months bring heightened need due to increased tourism and local events. In terms of healthcare infrastructure, we have several major employers, including AdventHealth and Kaiser Permanente, which contribute to the more than ten healthcare facilities in and around the city. When compared to nearby cities such as Sanford, Altamonte Springs, and Winter Park, Casselberry holds its ground with competitive salaries and job opportunities, although Altamonte Springs tends to offer a slightly higher average salary, which is about 5% above that of Casselberry.

While our healthcare infrastructure is growing to meet the increasing demands, the lifestyle and sense of community in Casselberry are equally important. We have numerous public health initiatives focusing on wellness and preventive care, coupled with new investments in our healthcare facilities, ensuring a future-focused approach to nursing. With a population of around 28,000, our community is evolving; projected growth rates suggest we’ll surpass 30,000 in the next few years, increasing our healthcare needs. Casselberry offers a blend of suburban charm with easy access to the cultural attractions of the greater Orlando area, from the renowned theme parks to beautiful nature trails. We truly believe that our vibrant community enhances our nursing roles, making it a fulfilling place to practice.
