Here in Plymouth, Minnesota, we find ourselves in a vibrant city that beautifully balances the charm of suburban life with the conveniences of urban accessibility. Our healthcare landscape is flourishing, offering a myriad of opportunities for nursing professionals. The average salary range for nurses in Plymouth fluctuates between $75,000 to $95,000 annually, which is notably competitive when contrasted with Minnesota’s state average of around $82,000 and the national mean of approximately $77,000. Plymouth’s location within the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area adds an appealing layer—providing access to a robust healthcare network, notable landmarks like the picturesque Medicine Lake, and a strong sense of community.

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

The job market in Plymouth is currently robust, driven by a rising demand for healthcare services. NurseRecruiter estimates that we will need about 400 new nurses over the next three to five years to meet the growing healthcare needs of our community, which currently boasts an estimated workforce of around 2,500 employed nurses. With the increasing healthcare demands, travel nursing and per diem opportunities have also gained traction. While the city has around 50 travel nursing positions available, the seasonal trend indicates peak demand during the summer months due to a higher influx of patients at our local facilities. Major employers include North Memorial Health Hospital, HealthPartners, and closely located clinics that provide specialized care. When we look beyond the local scene to cities like Edina and Maple Grove, Plymouth stands out—while both offer similar job opportunities, our salary and employment growth rates offer a clear advantage. Therefore, aspiring nurses seeking to find their footing in the field should consider Plymouth for its promising prospects.

Plymouth's healthcare infrastructure is indeed commendable, with over a dozen major hospitals and numerous clinics, each presenting varied specialties that are in high demand like geriatrics and pediatrics. Recent investments by local healthcare providers in technology and facility upgrades hint at a commitment to enhancing patient care and, concurrently, nursing roles within our community. The city is continually growing, boasting a population of approximately 79,000, with projections indicating an upward trend as more families are drawn by our excellent schools and community programs. We also host public health initiatives focused on preventive care and chronic disease management, which are vital in shaping our healthcare system. Living in Plymouth means enjoying a rich community life filled with beautiful parks, arts, and dining, where the camaraderie among residents echoes the support we show for one another’s wellbeing. As a local nurse, I invite you to explore the opportunities that await you here—be it through NurseRecruiter for job matches or as an employer seeking to connect with local talent.
