will be wintering in Fl in 2007--2008. Planning now. Looking for LTC or Assisted Living Facility to work in. Currently I work in a very clean, well run facility in the North and the stories of the Southern LTC facilities scare me. I have thought about doing some med/surg here to gain experience to try working acute care...but frankly that is not where my heart really is.
What area would be the best to look for rents in, as well as facilities to work at? What facilities are well known and outstanding in their customer service, patient care and retention of employees? That is where I want to work.

Have you tried one of the agencies that specializes in travelling nursing? You get pay,a room paid for...they know all the best employers and are willing to play "let's make a deal".
