The pace in Geneva lets me focus on what matters—my patients and my growth.

As a local nursing professional, it's exciting to discuss the robustness of our job market. Geneva is seeing steady growth in demand, with a projected need for approximately 50 new nurses in the next 3-5 years, contributing to both the hospital and outpatient sectors. Currently, the estimated number of nurses working here is around 200, showing a balance of supply to meet local healthcare needs. Our city boasts five key healthcare facilities, including the Fillmore County Hospital, where many of us proudly serve, and a mix of clinics that frequently post openings for travel and per diem nursing roles. Travel nursing is not as pronounced in Geneva compared to larger urban centers, but we do see seasonal increases during peak summer months when healthcare demands rise. Nearby cities, such as York and Aurora, provide additional nursing opportunities; for instance, York’s average nursing salary is slightly higher at around $36.20 per hour.
