| 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? |

| Re: Florida Nursing lisence As long as they don't cancel you the week before your contract is up and therefore you lose the bonus. WR,,, three commas for Becca |

| Re: Florida Nursing lisence 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. |

| Re: Florida Nursing lisence 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???? WR,,, three commas for Becca I personally don't like FLA... Note I said personally so I don't follow it that much.. Good luck.. |

| Re: Florida Nursing lisence 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. |
