Benson, Minnesota: A Gateway to Thriving Nursing Careers Amidst Scenic Charm and Community Spirit

Here in Benson, Minnesota, we often take pride in our close-knit community and the beautiful landscapes that surround our town. Known as the home of the Swift County Fair and nestled near the breathtaking glacial lakes, our city boasts a vibrant nursing job market that supports both local residents and traveling healthcare professionals. The average salary range for nurses in Benson skews between $60,000 and $70,000 annually, which aligns closely with the median salary for Minnesota nurses hovering around $68,200, with national averages at approximately $75,000. In our unique blend of rural charm and solid healthcare opportunities, Benson provides a welcoming atmosphere for both current nurses and those considering travel nursing assignments in this picturesque part of the Midwest.

Diving deeper into the job market here, our demand for nurses is on an upward trajectory, reflecting a national trend. According to labor projections, Benson will need nearly 100 additional nurses over the next five years, necessitating a robust pipeline of new talent and increased recruitment efforts. Currently, it’s estimated that approximately 300 nurses work within our city, serving not just our local hospitals and clinics but also the surrounding communities. With the ebb and flow of traveling nurse assignments playing a role, Benson sees a steady influx of travel nursing opportunities, particularly peaking in the summer months when our healthcare facilities experience increased patient volumes. For per diem nursing, our market is relatively active, supported by the need for flexible staffing solutions in our major health facilities. Alongside us, nearby cities like Willmar and Alexandria display a contrast in terms of nursing jobs available; both have slightly higher average salaries and larger healthcare facilities, but they lack the tight-knit community feel we cherish here in Benson.

In terms of healthcare infrastructure, Benson is home to a few key establishments: the Swift County-Benson Health Services being the most prominent employer that seeks qualified nursing staff across specializations. Recent investments in our health services, including an expansion of outpatient services, illustrate the emphasis placed on community health and the future growth of nursing roles. With a population of around 3,200 and a steady growth rate, the community prioritizes health initiatives that directly affect nursing practice, such as mental health programs and chronic disease management resources. Engaging with our community beyond the hospital walls, the local culture, small-town festivals, and access to nature’s beauty create a lifestyle that resonates with many. For nurses—both seasoned and aspiring—who want to find job opportunities or post positions in our area, signing up for NurseRecruiter is an excellent step toward connecting with our local healthcare environment and the supportive culture we have to offer.
