The median age of residents is 39, which is the same as the national median.

AZ is a very diverse state, which means you’ll be expected to provide culturally competent healthcare services.

Working in Arizona

Arizona is leading the way for job growth in the bioscience and healthcare fields. Precision medicine and biomarkers, diagnostics, and health IT are among the state’s specialization areas. But there’s a downside. By 2025, Arizona is expected to have the largest nursing shortage in the nation. As a nursing professional, expect to be in great demand both now and in the future.

If you want to find work in the acute space, consider exploring the openings at some of Arizona’s hospitals and medical systems, which include:

Also, the state of Arizona has nursing positions for jobs in public health. Wondering where else you can apply your skills and serve the community?

Living in Arizona

Life in Arizona is best experienced outside. Yes, there’s the Grand Canyon in all its splendor, but visit any of the state parks and expect to be dazzled by the colors, light, and limitless views. While the desert is understandably a big draw, so are the mountains. Skiers can hit the slopes of the White Mountains, San Francisco Peaks, and Santa Catalinas.

There are 22 American Indian communities in Arizona, and numerous ways to celebrate their cultures and heritage. Museums offer some of the best opportunities to experience the history and arts of the Apache, Havasupai, Hopi, Pueblo, Navajo, and Zuni tribes. Institutions include the Amerind Museum in Dragoon, the Heard Museum in Phoenix, the Hopi Cultural Center in Second Mesa, and many more.

Arts lovers, rejoice. The state is full of artists working in various mediums. Cities like Sedona, Jerome, and Bisbee boast thriving arts communities with a bohemian spirit. Flagstaff is home to larger museums, a symphony, and many galleries and studios. In Tucson, you’ll find everything from the Museum of Contemporary Art to a museum dedicated to the history of pharmacy.

If you’re a fan of sunshine, you’ve found your place. The annual weather in Arizona features more than 300 days of clear, bright skies. With all that sun comes the heat. But in terms of temperatures, it depends on where you are. Cities like Phoenix, Yuma, and Lake Havasu see summertime highs over 100 degrees, while Flagstaff tops out at around 70 degrees.

Arizona has a cost of living index that’s only around 6% higher than the national average. It’s a fairly tax-friendly place to live, with low property taxes and decent prices for homeowners insurance.
