Nursing Opportunities Await in Enola's Heart

Situated in the heart of Cumberland County, Enola, Pennsylvania, offers a unique blend of suburban comforts and access to larger metropolitan areas. With a population near 6,500, Enola is the kind of community where neighbors become friends and local establishments foster a genuine sense of belonging. A mere stone’s throw away from Harrisburg, the state capital, Enola has become an attractive hub for healthcare professionals. The local nursing job market reflects this, with an average salary range for registered nurses estimated between $65,800 to $75,300 annually, while the statewide average stands at around $71,000 according to recent data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is slightly below the national average of approximately $77,600, indicating that while we may not lead the pack in earnings, the cost of living here remains reasonable, allowing us to maintain a comfortable lifestyle amidst our thriving community.

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

Diving deeper into our nursing job market, it’s evident that the demand is rising steadily. NurseRecruiter estimates that over the next five years, about 200 new registered nurses will be required to fill the healthcare gaps created by an aging population and ongoing healthcare needs. Currently, there are around 700 nurses employed in Enola and its surrounding areas, including part-time, full-time, and per diem positions. Local healthcare facilities, such as the Geisinger Holy Spirit Health System and UPMC Pinnacle, play a significant role in hiring nurses. Also worth mentioning is the increasing interest in both travel nursing and per diem roles in our area. With travel nursing demand projected to rise by 10% year on year, we see a growing influx of temporary positions often peaking in summer months when patient volumes rise. When compared to nearby cities such as York and Harrisburg, Enola’s nursing job opportunities offer a cozy community feel combined with comparable salary ranges and job stability.
