What stands out
Experienced nurses
You would be looking at $42 an hour, and that same number is the floor, the middle, and the ceiling on the posting we have.
From employer postingsAs of 2026-08-25
Moving here
You would hang your badge in Wilmington, Delaware, not a neighboring town with a different name on the door.
Experienced nurses
You can set this posting next to Novant Health, ChristianaCare, Complete Care - MidAtlantic, Cadia Healthcare Pike Creek, and Nemours Children's Health, which also hire in the same market.
Moving here
Arden Courts and the State of Delaware also post nursing jobs around Wilmington, so you are not walking into a one-employer town.

More about Encore at Wilmington
There is no sign-on bonus, housing stipend, or contract length sitting next to that rate. Wilmington’s cost of living sits a little above the national price level, and the average commute in the city is about 19.9 minutes. If you were driving in from the Philadelphia area, one commuter described 45 minutes at 6 a.m. and a longer trip home no matter the route, because of traffic. Delaware taxes income on a graduated scale and is a compact-license state. ChristianaCare, Novant Health, Cadia Healthcare, Complete Care, Nemours Children's Health, Arden Courts, and the State of Delaware also hire nurses in this market, so you can put this posting next to theirs before you decide. We do not have unit, schedule, or ratio detail to hand you with the rate.
