Our nursing job market is robust and shows promising growth trends. NurseRecruiter estimates that approximately 800 nurses are currently employed in Quincy, with an expected demand for around 120 new nursing positions in the next three years, driven by both population growth and hospital expansions. Interestingly, travel nursing positions are rising, particularly during the summer peak season when we experience increased tourism along with seasonal agricultural work. With major employers like Quincy Valley Medical Center and several prominent clinics hiring actively, the local market offers a compelling blend of opportunities. When compared to nearby cities like Moses Lake and Wenatchee, Quincy benefits from its strategic location and living affordability, but may offer slightly lower salaries. This makes Quincy an appealing choice for nurses looking to prioritize work-life balance while still enjoying collaborative work environments.

Quincy boasts a health infrastructure that includes a handful of clinics and one major hospital, which has been instrumental in accommodating various specialties such as pediatrics, geriatrics, and emergency care.
