Sometimes smaller communities offer the best nursing experience. Marshfield proved that to me.

The job market for nurses in Marshfield is robust and growing, with an estimated 560 nurses currently employed in the area, as per NurseRecruiter estimates. Given the expected demand for healthcare services, especially considering the aging population, we project that Marshfield will need an additional 100 to 120 new nurses over the next few years. Travel nursing represents a lucrative avenue due to the nearby attractions and healthcare facilities seeking occasional staffing boosts, although it isn’t classified as a major hotspotlike in larger cities. Per diem opportunities also exist, offering flexibility for those who prefer a more varied schedule. In contrast to nearby Springfield, which features a larger healthcare system with wider job opportunities and a broader salary range of $30.00 to $40.00 per hour, our community shines in its close-knit environment, making it an appealing choice for nurses who value relationships with colleagues and patients alike.

Our healthcare infrastructure is anchored by the local Mercy Hospital, complemented by numerous clinics and specialized facilities such as physical therapy and urgent care centers that often seek skilled nursing staff. As the city continues to invest in healthcare improvements, including expansions and new technologies in local practices, exciting opportunities arise for nursing professionals interested in specialties ranging from geriatrics to pediatrics. Marshfield is evolving; the current population of approximately 7,100 is steadily growing, which is a key driver for ongoing public health initiatives and nursing roles. With active community health programs, our nurses play vital roles in promoting wellness and addressing local health concerns, enriching the tapestry of our tight-knit community. For those of us already in the profession or considering a move to our lovely town, I encourage you to explore job opportunities through NurseRecruiter, where employers can easily find qualified candidates ready to make a difference right here in Marshfield.
