As the demand for quality healthcare continues to escalate, Keller’s nursing job market has shown robust growth. With the population of Keller sitting at around 45,000, the estimated number of active nurses in our city likely hovers around 1,500, considering the area's share of Texas' total nursing workforce. NurseRecruiter estimates that in the next 3 to 5 years, the city may require up to 250 new nurses to meet this growing demand. The market for travel nursing remains active, particularly during flu season, as many facilities experience an influx of patients. Moreover, per diem nursing positions are plentiful, with several local community health initiatives and clinics looking for flexible staffing solutions. Nearby cities like Southlake and Grapevine also boast their nursing opportunities, but Keller stands out with lower living costs and a family-friendly atmosphere, making it an appealing choice for nursing professionals.

Our healthcare infrastructure reflects Keller's commitment to community well-being, with several major healthcare facilities and specialty clinics, including Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital, which attracts highly sought-after nursing specialties like pediatrics and geriatrics. Recent developments in healthcare infrastructure, such as the expansion of outpatient services, signal a commitment to meeting local health needs and enhancing job prospects for nurses. As the city’s population continues to grow, projected to reach over 50,000 by 2030, ongoing public health initiatives will positively impact nursing roles and available positions. Here in Keller, we enjoy a blend of suburban tranquility and essential healthcare job opportunities, making it an ideal place for nursing professionals—current and prospective alike—to consider their next career move.
