Nursing Careers Bloom in Levittown's Heart

When you stroll through Levittown, New York, you can’t help but feel the pulse of a community deeply woven into the fabric of healthcare. Known as one of the quintessential “planned communities,” our town was created post-World War II to accommodate the influx of returning veterans and their families. Here, we have a thriving nursing job market that reflects our close-knit culture and the ongoing demand for quality healthcare. The average salary range for nurses in Levittown is approximately $75,000 to $95,000 annually, which is quite competitive compared to the New York state average of around $79,000 and the national average that rests around $78,000 according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Nestled in the heart of Long Island, Levittown provides convenient access to major hospitals and healthcare institutions, granting us a unique blend of suburban life and urban healthcare opportunities.

Diving deeper into the local job market, Levittown faces an encouraging growth trend. NurseRecruiter estimates that we will need around 300 new nurses over the next five years to meet the rising healthcare demands of our growing population, which is currently around 51,000. Currently, there are approximately 1,500 registered nurses employed in Levittown, making it a bustling hub for nursing professionals. The travel nursing market is also emerging, especially during summer months when the influx of tourists to nearby beaches and attractions increases patient volume. Traditionally, we see a strong demand for per diem nursing to cover shifts at local healthcare facilities, with approximately 200 per diem positions available at any given time here. In comparison, nearby towns like Hempstead and Westbury present similar opportunities but often offer slightly lower salary ranges and a more competitive job landscape due to their larger population densities.

Our healthcare infrastructure reflects the essence of Levittown’s commitment to quality, featuring several healthcare facilities, including Nassau University Medical Center and various local clinics specializing in pediatrics, geriatrics, and urgent care. Recent investments in healthcare infrastructure, such as renovations to existing hospitals and expansions into telehealth services, speak to a community-focused approach geared towards enhancing patient care. Community initiatives, like health fairs and wellness workshops, further spotlight the importance of nurses in promoting public health. As Levittown continues to grow, projected regional population growth might increase our current 5% growth rate, enhancing our already robust healthcare market.
