Discover Burlington, Iowa: A Hidden Gem for Nurses Amidst Growing Demand and Affordable Living

Here in Burlington, Iowa, we have a unique blend of Midwestern charm and a burgeoning nursing job market that welcomes both local talent and travel nurses with open arms. Nestled along the Mississippi River, our city boasts lovely parks, vibrant cultural festivals, and a community that values healthcare as a cornerstone of our quality of life. The average salary for nurses in Burlington tends to range narrowly from around $26.50 to $32.50 per hour, translating to approximately $55,000 to $67,000 annually. When compared to the state average of $31.50 per hour or about $65,000 annually, and the national average of $39.90 hourly or roughly $83,000 annually as per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, we see that while Burlington's pay is on the lower end, the cost of living here is also significantly more manageable, making it an attractive place to call home and work.

Delving deeper into the nursing job market in Burlington, we observe a dynamic landscape fueled by an increasing demand for healthcare services. NurseRecruiter estimates that we will need an additional 150 to 200 new nurses in the next five years to keep pace with the growth in our population, currently hovering around 25,000 residents. With about 800 nurses already employed in various healthcare settings, including our key facility, Great River Medical Center, we can also expect to see promising opportunities in travel nursing, particularly during our busy summer tourist season. Moreover, Burlington is well-connected to the nearby cities of Fort Madison and Keokuk, which boast their nursing job markets and salary ranges, offering a harmonious support system for our local healthcare landscape. The insights from neighboring towns show higher median wages, with traveling nurses often looking to capitalize on the local demand for their services.

In terms of healthcare infrastructure, Burlington is home to several clinics, nursing homes, and hospitals that not only serve our local needs but also attract talent with specialized roles in fields such as pediatrics and gerontology. The city will see ongoing investments in healthcare and community wellness, with public health initiatives focusing on preventive measures that further integrate nursing roles into the fabric of our public services. A growing population, projected to witness a modest increase of about 1% annually, helps solidify the need for skilled nursing professionals in our area. Life here offers a slower pace and an opportunity to build lasting relationships within the community. Whether you’re already part of our nursing family or considering a move for an exciting new role, Burlington stands ready to welcome you.
