Nursing Opportunities in Roundup's Heartland!

Here in Roundup, Montana, our small but vibrant community boasts a unique charm that’s reflected in its nursing job market. Located at the confluence of the Musselshell River and surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, our town not only offers stunning views but also a strong commitment to healthcare. The average salary for nurses in Roundup is estimated to be between $58,000 and $75,000 annually, which notably contrasts with the Montana state average of around $66,380 and the national average of approximately $77,600 as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Our community stands out for its small-town feel, and for those of us in healthcare, it offers more than just a job; it offers an opportunity to engage closely with families and contribute to the well-being of our neighbors—a feeling that’s hard to replicate in bigger cities.

I wanted a place where I could make a real difference. Roundup gave me that.

Analyzing the nursing job market here reveals both opportunity and growth. NurseRecruiter estimates that our existing nurse workforce is about 150 professionals, given Roundup’s population of roughly 1,800, aligning with state trends. With the expected demand for healthcare professionals, we anticipate needing approximately 20 new nurses in the next five years to adequately serve our growing and aging population. Notably, while travel nursing is less common in Roundup compared to larger metropolitan areas, there exists a steady demand for per diem nursing, particularly during seasonal peaks in summer and flu season. The nearby towns of Billings and Miles City present a contrast, with higher salaries and more active job markets driven by larger hospital networks. Billings, for example, has a broader array of healthcare facilities and positions, making it an appealing choice for travel nurses and those seeking diverse nursing experiences.

Our healthcare infrastructure is supported by several local clinics and the highly regarded Musselshell Valley Hospital, which provides vital services and fosters a sense of community. Recent investments in expanding healthcare facilities, coupled with a focus on improving public health initiatives, enhance our nursing roles and solidify the importance of healthcare in our community. Roundup is a place where the pace of life allows for meaningful relationships, and with access to beautiful parks and a strong sense of community spirit, many of us find it a fulfilling place to live and work. As healthcare professionals, we have the chance not only to serve as caregivers but to actively shape the health outcomes of our community. Whether you’re a local nurse or considering the prospect of working here, I encourage you to check out NurseRecruiter for job opportunities that could be perfect for you. Employers looking to connect with qualified candidates can also leverage NurseRecruiter to find local talent that understands the intricacies of community nursing.
