Any Florida LPN's (relocating questions)

U.S.A. Florida

Published

Hi There!

I'm looking to relocate to Florida with my family. I have a husband and four boys. How are the jobs for LPN's? Where are the best cities to work in? Also, are LPN's paid more in long term, clinics or hospitals there? I am also interested in kid-friendly cities.:coollook:

Thanks

[. We are looking at moving into the area of Dade City/Zephyrhills area. I love it there and can't wait to move but I have to find a job there. .

Ohh it's lovely around there.

There is a State Prison in Zephyrhills (Zephrhills Correctional Facility), that I have heard is paying more ($20.) than other LPN State jobs ($14.). Due to the demand for nurses in that area. I did a few shifts there coming in as agency and wasn't bad at all. I think you can get to the state agency job listings through myflorida.com

Best of Luck to ya

I did a geographic research on various cities and Sarasota/Brandenton ranked one of the highest in the nation on overall growth quality. There are many large corporations which have relocated there because of the great weather and thus the overall cost effectiveness of operation. Sarasota is renowned for some of the best medical care facilities. There is a large population of semi-retired and retired, in addition to the fact that the area is a mid-sized city, without the crime of some of the larger cities. So it should be a nice place to raise children. There are strict ordinances on prevention of commercialism, and the place is beautiful. There are some good schools and colleges.

Considering the economy right now, wherever you end up you can always work agency as an LPN, at least initially. Just google online for allied health agencies. These agencies also often offer a full line of employee benefits, and you have a chance for diversity of some skills while making connections in the field.

Good luck in you move and in your job search.
