Nurture Care in the Heart of Claremont

Here in Claremont, New Hampshire, we enjoy a unique blend of small-town charm and vibrant healthcare opportunities. Nestled in the scenic Upper Valley, Claremont boasts a community where our roots run deep, thanks to our rich industrial history and a welcoming atmosphere. As for our nursing job market, it mirrors the growth trends of the national landscape. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, registered nurses nationwide earn a mean annual salary of approximately $77,600, while New Hampshire's nurses earn around $81,350 annually. In Claremont, however, we find our local salaries skew slightly lower due to the city's quieter environment. NurseRecruiter estimates that local RNs generally make between $64,000 and $74,000 annually, with variations depending on experience, specialty, and work setting. Beyond our beautiful parks and historic downtown, the cultural fabric here is woven with local events and community engagement, making Claremont a fantastic place not just to live but to thrive in healthcare.

Our nursing job market is undoubtedly robust, reflecting the broader healthcare trends propelled by an aging population and the ongoing demand for care in our community. NurseRecruiter projects that Claremont will require approximately 70 new nurses entering the field over the next five years, driven by an increasing population and the retirement of seasoned nurses. Currently, we estimate that around 300 registered nurses work in Claremont, serving within our local hospitals and clinics, such as the Valley Regional Hospital—a key employer in the city along with critical care facilities and long-term care centers. The demand for travel nursing, particularly during peak seasons such as summer and winter, is experiencing an uptick as travelers seek short-term assignments in our picturesque region. In contrast to surrounding cities like Lebanon and Keene, where larger healthcare systems may provide broader opportunities, our city maintains its own unique allure alongside competitive salary ranges that support a balanced lifestyle.

As our healthcare infrastructure continues to grow, the investments made in facilities around Claremont bolster our specialty services, particularly in primary care, orthopedics, and pediatrics. With a population of about 13,000, our city shows a modest growth trend, which supports both job stability and community well-being. Recent public health initiatives focusing on wellness and preventive care create exciting new roles for nurses, enhancing opportunities for career advancement within our local healthcare community.
