| Would like to relocate to Florida (LPN) As you may of noticed I am wanting to move to Florida as an LPN. I have been a nurse since 1996. Most of my experience has been in Emergency Room, but I have also had experience in Internal Medicine/Surgery Ward. Unfortunetlly, the pay for Nurses in Puerto Rico is very bad. I would like to to move to Florida (Tampa area), to search for a better opportunity. I am figuring that I would have to go to Florida first, then send for my family (wife and children). I have had on other ocassions offers of employeement for other states in the US, but have had none yet for Florida. I was wondering if anyone here has any information on recruiters to Florida. Any information will be greatly appreciated. |

| Re: Would like to relocate to Florida (LPN) hey dude, Im in the orlando area, i dnt see a lot of LPNs working in the ER i know of 2. shouldnt be too hard to get hired if you have a decent command of english. i suggest u sign up for the lpn-rn bridge program as soon as u get a job here. as u probably know we have a lot of people moving here daily.

| Re: Would like to relocate to Florida (LPN) pretty much all of the bigger travel companies are going to have assignments in Florida. I am a traveler with RN Network- they are based in Boca Raton, and have a lot of Florida assignments, as well assignments all over the country. Not sure if they work with LPN's though- their website is "www.rnnetwork.com" |
