The robustness of the nursing job market here in Maryville is promising, with projections indicating a 10% growth in nursing positions over the next five years, thanks to retiring nurses and an increasing population. Currently, we have an estimated 1,500 registered nurses contributing to our healthcare system, but NurseRecruiter anticipates the need for at least 200 new nursing professionals within that period to meet the demand for care among our growing community. While travel nursing opportunities are less pronounced here than in larger metropolitan areas, there is a steady influx of those roles, especially during summers when our visitors flock to the Smokies. The per diem nursing market is relatively active as well, with over 100 positions available at local healthcare facilities, including Blount Memorial Hospital and several specialized clinics. In comparison, cities like Knoxville or Chattanooga offer broader scopes and varied salary ranges, attracting nurses seeking urban experiences and higher earning potential.

As we look at our local healthcare infrastructure, Maryville boasts a range of facilities, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, and specialty centers—key players in recruitment with a pronounced need for critical care and geriatric nursing.

With a population of around 30,000, growing by approximately 1.5% annually, Maryville is poised for development.
