    Florida Nursing lisence

    I am a male er nurse currently working on the Navajo reservation in Arizona. I would like to maybe go to Florida for my next assignment, but I hear that it takes 3 months to get a license there, and that the pay is low. A nurse from Florida, however, disputes these claims. Can anyone advise me as to these questions, as well as a good company to travel to Florida with?

    Richardson's Health Care has bonus for Flordia at present. Thought about going myself. Do not know as far as license. Pay is somewhat lower there.

    As long as they don't cancel you the week before your contract is up and therefore you lose the bonus.

    Hey Wandering Rn, does that really happen? What can you tell me about Richardson's Health Care? I am still so green as I have only had one assignment and messed up on my choice of Companies then. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks.

    It sure does...But I'll give you a hint..FLA is expediting the license now because of Frances. Usually takes upwards of 6 months.. So contact Bridge Staffing. They will help you..I hope you don't mind $27/hour...What's your speciality anyway????

    I personally don't like FLA... Note I said personally so I don't follow it that much.. Good luck..

    I work in Fla, I'm a RN at the Moffitt Cancer Ctr. and for you being an ICU nurse, you would probably make $31. It's a great place to work. Check into it. Fla is a great state esp. if you are in a committed relationship with kids.

    Up to date:
    2004 Jan
    L & D
    24.00 /hr in FLORIDA
    plus night shift / call time / weekend pay
    ( 4 nights FRI<SAT, FRI<SAT = 1,400 take home
    but the cost of living is high.
    Beware!
    They feel of no state tax and nice weather accounts for low pay for RN.
    No thanks.
