Glasgow, Montana: A Thriving Nursing Profession Amidst Scenic Plains, Promising Growth, and Community Support

Here in Glasgow, Montana, our close-knit community thrives along the Milk River, surrounded by sweeping plains and breathtaking views of the Bear Paw Mountains. As a localized hub for healthcare, Glasgow serves not just its residents but also those in the surrounding areas through an extensive nursing job market. The average salary for nurses in Glasgow ranges between $25.00 and $38.00 per hour, or approximately $52,000 to $79,000 annually. This is comparable to Montana's statewide average of about $28.50 per hour (around $59,000 annually) but slightly lower than the national average, which stands at around $37.00 per hour (about $77,000 annually). Our small-town charm combined with modest living costs makes Glasgow appealing both for local nurses looking to advance their careers and for travel nurses seeking unique assignments.

The nursing job market in Glasgow is experiencing steady growth, with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projecting that healthcare will need an additional 7% increase in registered nurses by 2030. Given our population of roughly 3,300, we currently have an estimated 150 registered nurses working in the area, which includes roles in both full-time and part-time positions. Additionally, NurseRecruiter estimates that Glasgow supports about 15 to 20 travel nursing jobs, particularly peaking during the summer months when demand at our local facilities surges. The local market features major healthcare employers like Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital and several outpatient clinics, contributing to an active per diem nursing segment, estimated to be around 10% of the current nursing positions. Compared to our nearby cities, including Great Falls and Billings, Glasgow’s job opportunities might be fewer, but the lifestyle here is unmatched, offering a connected community and lower cost of living that provides a unique balance.

In terms of healthcare infrastructure, Glasgow boasts essential services that focus on a variety of specialties such as emergency care and geriatric services, primarily led by Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital, a critical access facility. Recent investments in telehealth services and modernizing our local hospital are designed to improve patient care and access to nursing specialties, which should further enhance job opportunities for both local and traveling nurses. Community initiatives, like health fairs and wellness programs, reflect a dedication to public health that directly impacts our nursing professionals. Our relatively stable population, expected to see modest growth in the coming years, combined with a supportive environment for healthcare, ensures that Glasgow remains an appealing place for nursing professionals looking for fulfilling work and a close-knit community. If you consider joining us, I encourage you to sign up for NurseRecruiter to explore available job opportunities and attract local talent as employers continue to benefit from our expanding nursing workforce.
