Tony, are you speaking of our local hospital? I don't know but I have a few friends that work there, I can find out, but it does differ with specialty and experience. Nurses I knew back when we were making $4.20 an hour at the hospital are now making $30 something. They stayed, I didn't. Are you here in our area now or just thinking about coming? I'm from NYC originally, but got my nursing degree and license here. Corrections is my specialty....

per diem rates range from 28-38 /hr depending on agency or hospital. The agency I work for has a flat rate. The hospital pool is 28 but you get differentials for nights, weekends, eves.

Baycare paid me (up until last month when I left to travel) $23.25/hr in a specialty unit and I have almost seven years experience. My friend with 5 years experience makes almost $21/hr. The pay sucks around here and varies from $21-$24.50/hr trust me I know that is why I went back traveling. Don't forget you have to wait 3 months for benefits to kick in.

Hi, I am a UK nurse and emigrating to the Treasure Coast in the next 3-4 weeks. I have been offered $23.50 an hour basic and at the time I had 14 years experience. I now have 16 years and hoping that the rate of pay has increased from when it was offered to me.

It is the general area along the Florida East Coast, from around Melbourne down to Jupiter. Kind of a bit below St. Augustine (Jacksonville/Gainesville area) to a bit above Palm Beach/Ft.Lauderdale/Miami area.
Or thereabouts.
I believe that it gets it's name from wrecks/associated historic kinds found around Vero Beach/Jensen Beach/Port St. Lucie. A cousin of mine, a Spanish historian/translator, help correct a mistaken translation that assisted that was important in finding the Atocha - historic Spanish vessel that was sunk near the Keys.
