The overall landscape of nursing jobs in Crosby is robust and diverse. Currently, we estimate roughly 150 employed nurses serving the city's population of 1,100 residents, indicating a significant demand given the healthcare needs of our growing community. NurseRecruiter estimates that over the next three to five years, we may need over 20 new nurses to meet local demand, particularly in specialties such as geriatrics and home health, which are integral to rural healthcare. Travel nursing also represents a smaller but essential part of our market, especially during the winter months when seasonal demands spike due to flu season and related healthcare needs. Per diem nursing roles add another dimension to our market, offering flexibility to local nurses who want to fill in gaps in staffing. When we look at nearby cities like Minot and Williston, which are about an hour away, the competition for nursing roles is noticeably more intense due to a larger population and higher average salaries, lending support to the idea that Crosby is a nurturing ground for nursing professionals who value the quality of life alongside their careers.

As we explore Crosby's healthcare infrastructure, we recognize the presence of two significant healthcare facilities, including the Crosby Medical Center and an array of outpatient clinics serving various specialties. The ongoing investments in our community's health infrastructure reflect a growing commitment to better health outcomes, with several grants recently allocated for improving services and expanding accessibility. Here, community life is vibrant, with events like the annual Rough Rider Days festival celebrating our cultural heritage, promoting a sense of unity among us. The current population of around 1,100 is projected to grow steadily due to employers seeking to attract talent to the area. We also have several public health initiatives that strengthen our collective well-being, addressing issues like nutrition, mental health, and preventive care.
