Comparable pay to NY??

U.S.A. Florida

Published

I'm a new grad and have been working as an RN in NYC for almost 2 months now. my current pay rate is $38.42. I'm looking into making a move with my family down south, most likely to Florida. Would anyone know if there are hospitals in FL that pay similar to my current rate? I would hate to drop down to almost half of what I'm currently making....

Specializes in Med/Surg, ICU, ER, Peds ER-CPEN.

We got out of FL 3 yrs ago and moved to MI, lower cost of living, higher wages, the union is very strong in my workplace so conditions are great! I tease my co-workers that have been here their whole careers that this is a Shangri-La of jobs lol in 5+ yrs with the same facility I recieved two 40 cent "cost of living raises" Now 3 years later I've gone up in pay by 50% another huge factor for our move was schools, the schools are much better here vs where we lived in FL (Not all of FL has bad schools) and our location puts us much closer to major universities for our children. My husband is just now willing to consider a visit to FL and his family is down there!
