Englewood Nurses: Care with a City Flair

Here in Englewood, New Jersey, we've cultivated a healthcare landscape that embodies both opportunity and community spirit. Nestled just a few miles from the bustling streets of New York City, our town offers a unique blend of suburban charm and urban advantages. The nursing job market here is thriving, with average annual salaries for registered nurses ranging from $90,000 to $105,000 based on local demand. This is slightly higher than the New Jersey state average, where the mean hourly wage is about $42.68, and even more favorable when compared to the national average of $37.31 per hour. Englewood is known for its vibrant cultural scene, local parks, and close-knit neighborhood relationships, making it not just a stopover but a vibrant community worth nurturing your career in nursing.

The robustness of our nursing job market is reflected in the projected growth trends. NurseRecruiter estimates that over the next five years, there will be a need for approximately 200 new nurses to accommodate our growing population of around 28,000 residents, which is projected to expand steadily. Currently, we estimate that there are about 2,100 nurses employed here in various healthcare facilities, including three major hospitals, numerous outpatient clinics, and specialized medical facilities such as the Englewood Health. Travel nursing opportunities are also present, with seasonal peaks during the summer months, as hospitals may see a temporary increase in patient volume. In contrast, our neighboring towns such as Hackensack and Fort Lee present similar employment landscapes but vary slightly in salary offering—Hackensack’s average being about $85,000 annually and Fort Lee's around $88,000. For nurses looking for flexibility, per diem positions are available across multiple healthcare employers, indicating a resilient market for short-term opportunities as well.

Englewood boasts a rich healthcare infrastructure with a strong emphasis on specialties such as cardiology and outpatient services. Recent investments in facilities, such as the expansion of Englewood Hospital and Medical Center, signal a commitment to improving healthcare delivery in the region. Our proximity to New York City also fosters educational partnerships and specialty training that can elevate your nursing career. With a population growth rate of 1% annually, our community remains vibrant, fostering local public health initiatives aimed at supporting the health of our residents. As nurses, we have the chance to make a significant impact in our community not just through our clinical skills but also as advocates for health and wellness.
