Currently, registered nurses in the area earn an average salary between $36.50 to $45 per hour, translating to an annual range of approximately $76,000 to $93,600.

The nursing job market in Flemington is expected to remain robust, driven by a rising demand for healthcare services. NurseRecruiter estimates that over the next five years, around 250 new nursing positions will emerge, primarily due to an aging population and advances in healthcare. Currently, there are approximately 1,000 registered nurses employed in Flemington, forming a cornerstone of our healthcare system. While there’s notable demand for travel nursing jobs, this area isn't considered a hotspot compared to larger cities but still offers a steady number of per diem nursing opportunities due to various healthcare facilities in the vicinity. Flemington is home to several major employers, such as Hunterdon Medical Center, which alone emphasizes the need for a well-staffed nursing workforce. Nearby cities like Bridgewater, Easton, and Reading provide different opportunities and salary ranges, usually falling slightly higher due to their proximity to urban centers. However, our hometown's lifestyle and community make it a more appealing choice for many nurses.

Flemington boasts a variety of healthcare facilities, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, and specialized treatment centers, each with its own set of demands for nurses in areas such as pediatrics, geriatrics, and emergency care. Recent investments in local healthcare infrastructure signify an ongoing commitment to enhancing medical services, with notable expansions at the Hunterdon Medical Center aimed at improving patient care and advancing medical technology. The population of Flemington stands at approximately 4,500, with growth projected to remain steady, ensuring a continuous need for healthcare services in our community. Public health initiatives centered around wellness and preventive care are increasingly defining our local healthcare landscape, creating broader roles for nursing professionals. As our union continues to grow, the demand for skilled nursing staff will amplify along with it.

Additionally, healthcare employers are invited to post their job openings to meet our community's ongoing nursing needs effectively. Together, we can shape the future of nursing in Flemington.
