Presently, there are about 2,300 registered nurses employed in the area, indicating a supply that is beginning to meet our burgeoning needs. Travel nursing opportunities exist but are seasonal, peaking in the summer months when local hospitals experience an influx of patients from vacationers enjoying the parks and attractions nearby. Per diem nursing roles, while not as abundant as in larger cities, contribute to our job market, especially during flu seasons. In terms of infrastructure, we have several major healthcare facilities, including Good Samaritan Hospital and multiple urgent care clinics.

However, the lifestyle and accessibility in Spring Valley hold a notable edge, providing a comfortable living experience.
