Diving deeper into our nursing job market, Concord’s healthcare facilities are quite robust, with nearly a dozen hospitals and numerous clinics scattered throughout the city, including the reputable Concord Hospital and the New Hampshire Veterans Home. The demand for nursing professionals is projected to grow significantly over the next five years, with estimates suggesting that Concord will need around 250 new nurses to meet the increasing healthcare needs of our population—currently standing at about 43,000 residents. With the surge in demand for both travel nursing and per diem positions, the state of New Hampshire shows a growing need for flexible nursing roles, influenced in part by seasonal tourism fluctuations. Compared to nearby locations, Concord may not see the same volume as larger cities, but our community still enjoys a fair share of travel nursing opportunities. Nashua and Manchester, for example, grapple with larger populations but offer intense competition in the nursing sector that may deter some from additional opportunities closer to home.
