Kearns: A Nursing Career Oasis with Competitive Salaries, Growing Job Opportunities, and a Supportive Community

Nestled just southwest of Salt Lake City, Kearns offers a unique blend of small-town charm and proximity to urban amenities. With its beautiful mountain backdrop and recreational opportunities, Kearns has become an appealing place for families and professionals alike. For nursing professionals, the job market here reflects a robust health care environment, with typical salary ranges for registered nurses between $30.50 and $39.00 per hour, translating to annual pay estimates of approximately $63,440 to $81,120. In comparison, nurses throughout the state of Utah earn around $30.63 per hour and $63,724 annually, while the national averages sit at approximately $35.24 hourly and $73,300 annually. These figures reveal that nursing salaries in Kearns are competitive, especially given our close-knit community’s emphasis on quality healthcare. As a resident, I appreciate Kearns not only for its vibrant community life but also as a burgeoning hotspot for travel nurses, primarily due to its proximity to larger cities.

Looking deeper into the local nursing job market, Kearns’ healthcare landscape consists of various facilities, including major hospitals like Intermountain Kearns, along with several clinics and rehabilitation centers which require a steady supply of nursing talent. NurseRecruiter estimates that approximately 800 registered nurses are currently employed in Kearns, but with projected growth in the healthcare sector, we may see a demand for an additional 200 nurses over the next five years. Our city’s job market also supports travel nursing opportunities, particularly during the summer months when higher patient volumes are expected, while per diem roles provide flexibility for those who prefer non-conventional schedules. When compared to nearby cities like West Jordan and Sandy, Kearns has slightly lower median salaries, but we make up for it with a lower cost of living and a strong sense of community, making our city an attractive option for nurses seeking balance between work and life.

The healthcare infrastructure in Kearns is continually evolving, with ongoing investments in modern facilities and telehealth initiatives, ensuring our community has access to comprehensive and innovative care. The population in Kearns is nearly 42,000, with a growth rate of about 2.3% projected over the next five years, suggesting increasing healthcare needs that will shape nursing roles. Our residents value community health, evidenced by local public health initiatives focused on preventative care and wellness programs. Living and working in Kearns offers a quality of life that is enriched by an active lifestyle, outdoor activities, and a supportive neighborhood atmosphere—so whether you're already here or considering moving, the local nursing job market positively thrives, offering ample opportunities for career advancement and fulfilling experiences. I invite my fellow nurses to explore local job matches at NurseRecruiter and to encourage employers in our area to post opportunities to find talented candidates within our community.
