Nurture Health in Pomona's Scenic Charm

Nestled in the heart of southern New Jersey, Pomona presents a unique mix of suburban tranquility and a burgeoning healthcare job market. Here in Pomona, we cultivate a sense of community while housing numerous healthcare facilities and providers. The local nursing job market is both vibrant and competitive, providing opportunities for registered nurses and licensed practical nurses alike. Currently, the average salary for nurses in our city ranges between $70,000 and $80,000 annually. This positions our local earnings slightly above state averages, with New Jersey's overall registered nurse mean salary at approximately $80,970 per year according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. With its charming residential feel accented by local parks and family-run businesses, Pomona's appeal as both a place to live and work in the healthcare sector is undeniable.

Don't overlook Pomona. I almost did, and I'm glad I gave it a chance.

Diving deeper into our nursing job market, Pomona is witnessing promising growth projections. The NurseRecruiter estimates that our city will need approximately 1,200 new nurses in the next three to five years, considering both the aging population and the healthcare industry's expansion. Presently, there are an estimated 3,000 nurses currently practicing within our city limits, ensuring a robust support system for new graduates. Furthermore, with a favorable environment for travel nursing, our city boasts around 150 travel nursing jobs available year-round, particularly peaking in the summer months when patient care demand rises. In contrast to neighboring Atlantic City, known for its nightlife and casinos but limited healthcare facilities, Pomona holds an advantage with several prominent employers like AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center and other specialty clinics, which enrich the job landscape and broaden employment opportunities.

The healthcare infrastructure here is impressive, with over five major hospitals and numerous clinics in close vicinity, all contributing to a strong demand for nursing specialties such as geriatrics and pediatrics. Recent investments in healthcare facilities emphasize increased capabilities in emergency care and chronic disease management, forecasting even more growth for our sector. With a population hovering around 4,000, Pomona showcases an inviting community atmosphere, complemented by cultural events and accessible outdoor activities. Our recent public health initiatives have focused on enhancing community well-being, enabling nursing roles to shape the future of health in our area. For current and prospective nurses, engaging with local opportunities is essential, and I encourage everyone to sign up for NurseRecruiter to explore job matches tailored to our community. Employers can benefit too, using the platform to find skilled local candidates who truly understand the Pomona spirit.
