More about Thrive Healthcare

Petoskey is a small northern Michigan city. Nurses and other working people there keep talking about housing: pre-COVID averages that sat roughly in the $150,000–$225,000 range are now part of conversations that include homes near $1 million in popular pockets. Nearby names like East Jordan and Boyne Falls come up when people look for something they can still afford. Michigan is not a compact-license state, so you would need a Michigan RN license. The state income tax is a flat 4.25%. One nearby employer in our database, Daisy Medical Staffing Inc, shows an hourly median around $65 — useful only as local context until Thrive’s own rates show up in our postings.
