1. Why are Florida RNs paid so low?

   aprilgemini24 replied to gerryNYC's topic in Florida

   It's not any better in Wisconsin either. Not only are GN's starting out at $19/hr. here but there has been a hiring freeze all year and massive layoffs so....if it were me, I'd pick Florida.

7. Are there ANY good hospitals to work for in Florida???

   aprilgemini24 posted a topic in Florida

   In Florida, since I have only read negative things about Ft. Lauderdale and Miami hospitals, aside from Baptist which sounds like the only suitable one and everyone is probably trying to apply for, are there ANY good hospitals to work in Orlando? And...

    It's not for you to judge. Whether they are a crackhead or have a high tolerance, whether they are drug seekers or have legitimate pain, you have to find a way to not think about the ethical side because that part of it is not your concern (whether i...
