I came to Georgetown not knowing what to expect. Turns out, it was the right move.

As Georgetown experiences rapid growth, the demand for nursing professionals is projected to increase significantly. According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, approximately 200 new nurses will be needed within the next five years to meet our healthcare demands, which translates to roughly 24% growth in nursing roles due to factors such as an aging population and the opening of new healthcare facilities. Currently, our city's nurse workforce comprises about 800 registered nurses, and we have several prominent employers. This includes St. David's Georgetown Hospital and the surrounding outpatient clinics that consistently seek qualified nurses. For travel nurses, Georgetown experiences seasonal trends aligned with the spring and fall festival seasons, creating a surge in temporary healthcare staffing needs. Additionally, Per Diem nursing opportunities are steadily rising due to the expanding patient population and the need for flexibility in staffing. When we glance at nearby cities like Round Rock and Cedar Park, we see varied opportunities—particularly in Round Rock, where major hospitals often compete for skilled nursing talent, sometimes offering higher salaries than our city's current ranges.

Georgetown’s healthcare infrastructure is robust, with four major hospitals and numerous clinics and specialty practices, including those that focus on acute care, women’s health, and geriatrics. Recent investments in healthcare facilities are encouraging, as they aim to accommodate our increasing population's needs; we expect new outpatient centers and clinics to emerge shortly. As a community, we value our local culture that combines a unique blend of Texas history with a commitment to wellness. With a population nearing 70,000, Georgetown continues to grow steadily, and recent projections suggest a growth rate of approximately 3% annually. Public health initiatives, such as the partnerships with local organizations to promote wellness within the community, further strengthen the nursing roles we emphasize.
