Re: To The New Posters On This Forum

Hello,

I am a Psych NP in New England and am interested in applying for a position in Florida working in a Veterans Admin. Outpatient Clinic. Does anyone have any experiences working in a facility like this? I have no idea what to expect as to working conditions. The starting pay posted is about 50% less than what I currently make although the top of the range is only a few thousand less than I make now.

I am thinking a nurse must be employed with this type of a facility for many years before reaching that salary, does that sound right?

Any advice, experiences and opinions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

The only thing i can tell you is that Florida has lower than average pay scale.

Re: To The New Posters On This Forum

No matter where you work, it generally takes many years to get to the top of the pay scale...

Re: To The New Posters On This Forum

Do any of my fabulous coworkers have any experiences, good or bad, working for this type of facility? I am trying to gather as much info. as possible before I go for this. It would mean selling my home and moving my family with me which is a lot to ask so I want to research what working there would be like from actual nurses and not just read what is posted on the different job sites (which, by the way, tells almost nothing).

thanks

Re: To The New Posters On This Forum

I'm wondering why the position is attractive to you since it involves moving your family cross-country and a big pay cut??? FIFTY PERCENT!!!
