Surrounding the picturesque Merrimack River, Nashua boasts a population of approximately 90,000, and as of 2022, registered nurses here earn an average annual salary estimated between $73,000 and $82,000, which is quite competitive compared to the New England regional average of around $78,500. For context, the national average for registered nurses is about $77,600, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

I came to Nashua not knowing what to expect. Turns out, it was the right move.

The nursing job market in Nashua is not only robust but is also on a trajectory of sustained growth.
