Tulsa's Booming Nursing Job Market: Competitive Salaries, Growing Opportunities, and a Vibrant Community Await Healthcare Professionals

Here in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the vibrancy of our city is mirrored in the bustling nursing job market that serves both residents and visitors alike. Known for our thriving arts scene, the famous Route 66, and the breathtaking Tulsa skyline, this city is a magnet for healthcare professionals. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average hourly wage for registered nurses in Oklahoma is approximately $30.85, while the national average hovers around $37.24. Based on our local market dynamics, I estimate that registered nurses in Tulsa typically earn between $28.50 to $34.00 per hour, amounting to an annual salary range of about $59,280 to $70,720. This competitive pay combined with a lower cost of living makes Tulsa an appealing choice for nurses looking to build their careers. Commuting to nearby cities like Broken Arrow and Jenks further enhances our opportunities, as these communities are developing rapidly and often share healthcare resources with Tulsa.

As we analyze the broader nursing job market in Tulsa, it’s clear that our strong healthcare infrastructure creates a steady demand for nurses. With an existing workforce of approximately 3,900 registered nurses in the city, the projected growth in the coming years indicates a need for about 550 new nurses by 2025. This demand is fueled largely by staffing needs in the six major hospitals, including the renowned Saint Francis Hospital and the nearby Hillcrest Medical Center, which are leaders in patient care within the region. Travel nursing is also growing here, with around 200 positions available, especially during the summer months when seasonal demands for healthcare services increase. Comparatively, Oklahoma City, only a couple of hours away, offers slightly higher salaries but lacks the same sense of community and cultural quirkiness found in Tulsa. Nearby cities like Bixby and Owasso, while smaller, are also seeing increased demand for both full-time and per diem nurses, making them worth considering for job opportunities. If you’re keen on exploring options, I encourage you to sign up for NurseRecruiter to connect with local job openings tailored to your skills.

Tulsa’s healthcare infrastructure is poised for further expansion, reflecting a city committed to improving healthcare access. Our neighborhoods house over 30 clinics, many specializing in primary care and urgent care, catering to diverse patient needs, which creates a demand for nurses skilled in various specialties, such as pediatrics and geriatrics. The ongoing investments, such as the $80 million addition to the Tulsa Health Department, signal significant growth in public health initiatives, ultimately enriching our community's overall well-being and providing further jobs for nursing professionals. Tulsa maintains a population of approximately 403,000, with a robust growth rate projected as new residents seek the blend of work-life balance that our city offers. Amidst the cultural appeal of our local attractions and friendly community vibe, aspiring nurses will find not just a job, but a rewarding career path here. As we continue to develop our healthcare system and lay the groundwork for a healthier tomorrow, being a nurse in Tulsa is not just about caring for patients; it’s about being part of a closely-knit community. For those looking to enhance their nursing careers and connect with local healthcare employers, consider signing up for NurseRecruiter and discover how you can contribute to our thriving healthcare landscape.
