Pennsylvania's nursing job market at a glance

Pennsylvania's healthcare market spans two major metro anchors and a wide network of regional systems. In the west, UPMC and Allegheny Health Network operate hospitals and specialty centers across greater Pittsburgh.

Geisinger and WellSpan anchor much of central and northeastern Pennsylvania, while regional networks like Lehigh Valley Health Network and St. Luke's University Health Network serve fast-growing suburban corridors. That mix means nursing demand statewide, whether you want a large academic medical center, a community hospital, or steady long-term-care and home-health hours close to home.
