Here in Green Bay, Wisconsin, we enjoy the unique blend of Midwestern charm and a burgeoning healthcare landscape. Known for its stunning lakeside vistas, friendly communities, and the legendary Lambeau Field, Green Bay is also home to a vibrant nursing job market that continues to grow. As of 2023, the average salary for nurses in our city ranges from approximately $27.96 to $37.70 an hour, which translates to a yearly salary between $58,000 and $78,000. This figure stacks up relatively well against statewide and national averages; according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, registered nurses earn a mean hourly wage of $37.57 and annually about $78,125 nationwide. Our local workforce, characterized by its dedication to patient care, makes this an inviting place for both homegrown and traveling nurses looking to contribute to the healthcare sector.
The teams I've worked with in Green Bay have been some of the best in my career.
The nursing job market in Green Bay displays a robust atmosphere poised for expansion. In the next 3-5 years, we expect to need over 600 additional nurses to meet the demand driven by an aging population and increasing healthcare needs—roughly a 15% increase. Currently, about 4,000 nurses are part of the workforce here, providing care in numerous settings. Travel nursing opportunities are plentiful, particularly during peak seasons in summer and around local events, with agencies reporting a steady influx of travel nurses during these times. On the per diem front, there is considerable demand for flexibility, creating abundant per diem job options in clinics and long-term care facilities. Our key healthcare establishments, including Aurora BayCare Medical Center and Prevea Health clinics, are prominent employers. When compared to nearby cities like Appleton and Oshkosh, we offer competitive salaries, but with a unique Green Bay lifestyle that includes cozy neighborhoods and a tight-knit community feel—qualities that make us stand out.
Green Bay's healthcare infrastructure is constantly evolving, with over 10 major hospitals, including specialized facilities such as the Bellin Health & Amputee Rehabilitation Hospital, and outpatient clinics that demand nursing professionals across various specialties including geriatrics, pediatrics, and emergency care. Investments in healthcare development remain steady, improving our capacity to serve the community. Local public health initiatives, like the Green Bay Health Department's efforts in preventative care and wellness programs, bolster nursing roles further. Our city has a population of approximately 105,000, with growth projected to continue, underscoring the need for skilled nursing professionals. As we foster a culture that values healthcare, community, and lifestyle, I invite my fellow nurses—current and prospective—to consider Green Bay not just a job destination, but a place to thrive professionally and personally.
