Currently, we have an estimated workforce of around 150 active nurses in the area, serving at notable employers like Hills and Dales General Hospital and various clinics that dot the landscape. While Cass City may not be a primary destination for travel nursing, opportunities do arise in the warmer months, particularly during the winter flu season when staffing needs peak. In contrast, larger nearby cities such as Saginaw and Bay City showcase average nursing salaries between $30.00 and $40.00 per hour, presenting different lifestyles and job markets that may appeal to those looking to expand their horizons.
