As we look at the broader nursing job market here, the future seems promising, particularly with an aging population and increasing emphasis on healthcare access.

Currently, the Shoreview nursing workforce comprises about 1,400 registered nurses, with the demand for travel nursing jobs recently seeing a peak during the summer months, when regional facilities expand their staff to accommodate higher patient numbers.
