The nursing job market in Wysox is on a growth trajectory, driven by an aging population and an increase in healthcare facilities in nearby communities. NurseRecruiter estimates that we will need around 15% more registered nurses over the next five years to meet the demands of our healthcare system. Currently, approximately 300 nurses are employed within Wysox, a number that is projected to rise as new healthcare facilities open their doors.

While some may look to larger cities like Scranton or Allentown for increased salary potentials, we keep our unique advantages with shorter commutes, a peaceful lifestyle, and strong community engagement.
