Situated in the picturesque North Country of New York, Malone is a charming town known for its scenic landscapes and small-town warmth. As we step into the nursing job market here in Malone, I can’t help but appreciate the beauty of our surroundings – the lush greenery, the majestic Adirondack Mountains, and the sense of community that makes this place feel like home. For nursing professionals, the local job market offers competitive salary ranges that I estimate to be around $29.00 to $35.00 per hour or an annual salary of approximately $60,000 to $73,000, closely mirroring the New York average which according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, is approximately $41.74 hourly and $86,800 annually.
