For nursing professionals, the average salary for registered nurses here ranges between $65,000 and $72,000 annually—slightly above the state average of approximately $66,000 and closing in on the national average of $77,000. With on-going developments in the healthcare sector and our proximity to larger metropolitan areas, the opportunities for nursing jobs continue to expand.

Analyzing our local nursing job market reveals some exciting trends.

The supply of travel nursing positions is relatively stable, with a slight uptick seen during the summer months when local hospitals experience seasonal patient influxes. We have several healthcare facilities, including the renowned Parkwest Medical Center and numerous outpatient clinics specializing in primary care, pediatrics, and rehabilitation, which are crucial employers in our area. Comparing our market to nearby cities like Knoxville and Lenoir City, we see a more moderate but appealing salary range, as Knoxville offers slightly higher pay, but often with a more competitive environment.
