Caring Hearts in Quincy’s Historic Harbor

Here in Quincy, Massachusetts, we find ourselves in a unique position within the nursing job market, enriched by our vibrant coastal lifestyle and strong community values. With a historical backbone and sites like the Adams National Historical Park, our city blends rich heritage with modern living. In terms of the nursing job market, Quincy offers an average annual salary for registered nurses ranging from $73,000 to $88,000, which is competitive when compared to the state average of approximately $82,000 and the national average of around $80,000. The cost of living in Quincy is slightly above average, but what truly sets us apart is the city's accessibility to nearby Boston, where salaries may be notably higher due to demand in metropolitan healthcare facilities. Living in Quincy, we enjoy both a seaside atmosphere and the conveniences of city life, making it an attractive option for nursing professionals.

I moved to Quincy for one job and discovered a city full of possibilities for nurses.

As we examine the broader nursing job market here, it becomes clear that Quincy has a robust healthcare landscape that is expected to grow. According to recent estimates, there are approximately 2,500 nurses employed in our city, contributing to the overall stability of the healthcare system. Over the next 3-5 years, we’ll see an estimated demand of 400 new nurses to meet the community’s needs, fueled by an aging population and an increase in healthcare accessibility. While the travel nursing market in Quincy remains moderate with roughly 150 travel nursing positions available, seasonal demand peaks during the summer months as the influx of tourists increases. In contrast, cities like Brockton and Weymouth, just a short drive away, offer similar markets but with distinct opportunities—Brockton's lower cost of living translates to a slightly lower salary range for nurses, while Weymouth boasts a growing number of clinics but fewer hospital settings than we have here in Quincy. As our city continues to attract healthcare investment, I encourage my fellow nursing professionals to explore opportunities and also check for local job matches through NurseRecruiter.

When it comes to healthcare infrastructure, Quincy is home to multiple hospitals, such as Quincy Medical Center, as well as a variety of outpatient clinics and specialty care facilities. With a population nearing 100,000, and projected growth rates indicating a steady increase, the need for specialized nursing roles is becoming more critical. Notably, recent investments in healthcare facilities have included expansions in mental health services and geriatric care, both of which are in high demand. Our community aligns closely with public health initiatives that promote wellness and preventative care, further enriching the nursing landscape. Life in Quincy, with its picturesque waterfront views and sense of community, fosters a supportive environment for healthcare professionals. This is a city where you can truly thrive, both personally and professionally.
