About Tulsa

Nurses and allied health professionals looking for the best healthcare employers in Tulsa, Oklahoma, find a wide array of quality healthcare facilities to choose from in the city affectionately known as T-Town. Tulsa is home to some of the nation’s largest companies, and healthcare is one of its key industries. According to the Oklahoma Hospital Association, Tulsa has 16 hospitals, not including several found in surrounding suburbs.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Healthcare Statistics (BLS), Tulsa employed 27,370 healthcare practitioners in May 2021.

Tulsa is the second-largest city in Oklahoma after the capital, Oklahoma City. Though it’s considered mid-sized, it’s still a vibrant metropolis boasting a low cost of living, outstanding schools, a relatively temperate climate and a shorter-than-average commute. As part of Oklahoma’s Green Country, gently rolling grassland and stunning hardwood trees surround Tulsa. It’s usually far enough north to escape extended periods of extreme heat in the summer yet far enough south to avoid extended periods of extreme cold in the winter and only averages six inches of snow each year.

The BLS projects that overall employment in healthcare occupations will grow nationwide by 13% from 2021 to 2031. The salary outlook for medical professionals in Tulsa is robust. Per Vivian’s salary data, the average hourly rate for staff RNs in Tulsa was $47 in early December 2022, but some positions paid up to $53. Tulsa travel RNs averaged $2,620 per week, with some positions paying as much as $8,263 during this same period. The average rate for staff allied health professionals in Tulsa among every specialty was $31 per hour, with a max earning potential of $36. Travel allied health workers in Tulsa earned an average of $2,280 weekly, with a maximum of $3,205 possible.
