With the mean annual salary for registered nurses in Wisconsin approximately sitting around $74,890 and the mean hourly wage at about $36.00 according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, salaries here in Amery reflect the state's trends but often come in at a slightly lower range, estimated around $65,000 to $70,000 annually.

The pace in Amery lets me focus on what matters—my patients and my growth.

As we look into the trends and demands of the nursing job market in Amery, it's evident that we are on the brink of growth. The projected demand suggests that our community might require around 30-50 new nurses over the next few years, factoring in an aging population and the ongoing need for healthcare services. Currently, we boast a diverse healthcare workforce serving in various capacities across our local hospitals and clinics, such as the heavily utilized Amery Medical Center. Compared to nearby cities like New Richmond and Hudson, where richer job markets may offer salaries on par or slightly higher (between $70,000 and $80,000 annually), Amery's offerings are competitive, especially for those looking for a peaceful lifestyle while pursuing their nursing careers.
