2. Another RN wanting to come to Florida

   whd13b replied to njc2rn's topic in Florida

   Travel nursing is a great idea to check out an area as well as different hospitals. It also gives you the time and convenience of being right there if you choose to apply and interview at local hospitals. I have a question though. I'm still undeci...

7. Florida RN Salaries

   whd13b replied to whd13b's topic in General Nursing

   It certainly can be! Then again traffic anywhere in South Florida is horrific, especially during season. I lived in WPB for 5 years and Boca for 3, pre RN days so I have a good idea of the region for home owner or rent purposes but for being an RN....

   Wow..thank you so much for the detailed salary and benefit information. Ironic after living in Florida all your life, you seek the north :) And myself growing up in the north, seek the south. I actually love the Hudson Valley region of NYS where I...

    whd13b replied to thrboymom's topic in Travel

    By the way, if $ 3800.00 is the monthly stipend for insurance, you are seriously making out there considering most single pay insurance is about $500.00 per month! The top agencies I've come across, between Highway Hypodermic and other travel nursi...
