Nurse Your Career Among Roseville's Roses

Nestled between the vibrant cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Roseville, Minnesota, is a hidden gem that boasts a thriving nursing job market alongside a welcoming community spirit. Here in Roseville, we blend the best of suburban life with easy access to the cultural and recreational offerings of the Twin Cities. The nursing salary landscape here is relatively competitive; NurseRecruiter estimates that registered nurses earn between $30.96 and $44.99 an hour, translating to an annual salary of approximately $64,400 to $93,600. This range compares favorably to the state average of around $37.45 per hour ($77,820 annually) and the national average of roughly $36.22 per hour ($75,470 annually). As a local nursing professional, I appreciate that our city's unique blend of community parks, shopping centers, and proximity to renowned medical institutions enhances the appeal for both local nurses and those looking to embark on travel nursing adventures.

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

As we delve into the nursing job market dynamics, Roseville stands out with a steady demand for professional care. According to estimates, there are currently around 2,200 employed nurses in our city, and over the next 5 years, we expect to see an average of 150 new nursing positions open up annually in response to a growing population and ongoing healthcare demands. The frequency of travel nursing opportunities is also noteworthy, with seasonal spikes typically seen from late spring through summer when healthcare facilities ramp up staffing efforts. However, Roseville's per diem nursing market is exceedingly vibrant throughout the year, providing nurses with flexibility and additional income opportunities. When we compare ourselves to nearby cities such as Bloomington and Eagan, we see that while the salary ranges are similar, Roseville offers a more community-centric lifestyle, making it an attractive option for nursing professionals. In contrast, the bustling job market of Minneapolis might overshadow the local opportunities we have here, but we continue to thrive as a solid alternative.

Roseville's healthcare infrastructure is robust, with an array of healthcare facilities and specialties that cater to varying patient needs. A major draw for nursing professionals in our city is the presence of significant healthcare employers like HealthPartners and Hennepin Healthcare, which create a multitude of nursing roles. Recent investments in healthcare facilities, including expansions at local hospitals, underscored our community's commitment to quality care and improved patient access—a factor projected to continue shaping demand for nursing professionals. With a population nearing 36,000 and steady growth projected in the coming years, Roseville is a community rich in opportunities for both seasoned and aspiring nurses. Amid ongoing public health initiatives that target equitable access to care, we not only contribute to immediate patient health needs but also shape the future of nursing in our region. Each day, we come together as a community to support each other and our patients in unique ways that echo our Midwestern values. So, whether you're already part of our nursing family or looking to make Roseville your new home, I encourage you to explore the job openings on NurseRecruiter—where employers in our area can also post jobs to find remarkable local candidates.
