Hi,

I am a Canadian Nurse who is thinking about relocating to Florida, I am aware that the job market in south florida is not so hot...can anyone please give me some information about the job market in fort myers. Also please let me how is it to live in fort myers. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Go to the web site of our largest Health Care Employer to get an idea of job openings. Leememorial.org

I personally loved living in this area the past 10 years.

Hi,

Thank you for your response can you please tell me the salary ranges for RNs in fort myers with over 5 experience

I believe salary range is $22.oo new grad up to $35.00. As to five years experience. I am not sure. I imagine it has to do with in which field and is it a specialty with a high need. Florida tends to pay low, but I do think one can always try bargaining.

Hey there, I'm a Canadian as well. I've been working in the USA for 2 years in Boston. I also have a vacation condo on siesta key near Sarasota because I hoped to work there. Unfortunately I can't save any money if I lived there. Although fort myers has a in house nursing travel dept. You work there during the fall to early spring then go home. You contract for 2 years. They didn't need any OR nurses so I didn't look further.

Good luck!!

Thanks Talai,

To paraphrase what you are saying it is best to work in florida on a seasonal basis as oppose to living their...how is it in boston, and what is the salary range...also have you ever workded in fl....as well do you like working in the states as oppose to Canada...thans
