Caring Hearts Thrive in East Liverpool

Here in East Liverpool, Ohio, nestled along the banks of the Ohio River, we proudly uphold a rich industrial history as a cornerstone of our community. The nursing job market in our town is equally vibrant, with diverse opportunities available for nursing professionals. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average annual salary for registered nurses in Ohio is around $67,600, which translates to an hourly wage close to $32.50. In East Liverpool, due to our smaller size and unique demographic factors, nursing salaries average between $28.00 and $36.00 per hour, making it competitive albeit slightly below the state average. Our city offers a quaint lifestyle with a tight-knit community and historical landmarks like the iconic Martin's Ferry Bridge and the Museum of Ceramics, which bring charm while presenting a backdrop to the local healthcare industry.

Sometimes smaller communities offer the best nursing experience. East Liverpool proved that to me.

The job market here is projected to grow steadily, with NurseRecruiter estimating an increase in demand for at least 120 new nurses over the next five years. Currently, the nursing workforce in East Liverpool stands at approximately 550 registered nurses, indicating a solid supply for the expected needs. Additionally, travel nursing opportunities are gaining traction with various hospitals throughout our area, particularly during peak seasons such as summer and flu season, when the demand often spikes. Per diem nursing jobs add another layer of flexibility and opportunity, with an estimated 50 local per diem positions available at our regional healthcare providers. When we compare East Liverpool to nearby cities like Steubenville and Weirton, we notice a slight edge in salary – nursing professionals might earn slightly higher in those cities, yet the cost of living in our town remains appealing. It’s essential for local and traveling nurses alike to stay updated with trends, and platforms like NurseRecruiter can provide tailored job matches.
