Don't overlook East New Market. I almost did, and I'm glad I gave it a chance.

Currently, our nursing job market is thriving, spurred by an increasing demand for healthcare services as the population continues to grow, echoing a projected increase of around 15% in nursing jobs over the next five years. NurseRecruiter estimates that there are about 100 registered nurses currently employed in East New Market, contributing to a healthcare community that is both tight-knit and collaborative. Travel nursing and per diem positions also see healthy demand thanks to the close proximity of larger healthcare facilities in nearby Cambridge and the growing seasonal influx in tourism during warmer months.
