Thank you so much for your input!! We're actually planning to move to the Clearwater/Bradenton area, so that's perfect!! Is the pay decent too?? I was told, on average in FL, I'm looking at about $26/hr for 5yrs experience.

Well, I am going on just 3 years experience at the same hospital,and I make 26+ so I would really shoot for $30 if you get an interview, etc, good luck, what area do you work in?

I've done ICU for the past 3 years and PCU the 2 years prior to that. I'm making just over $33/hr now, so knowing that it could possibly not be as drastic of a pay cut as what I had thought, makes me much more comfortable!! I didn't see any ICU positions posted, but we won't be moving until early next year-- hopefully by that time they'll have one available .

I currently work at St. Petersburg General Hospital and cannot say enough about the people I work with. They are some of the nicest that I have met in my career. I work same day surgery. Fast paced and when help is needed it is readily offered. You may want to check them out! :yeah:

That's so awesome to hear!! We're looking in that area, and it seems that Baycare hospitals are well liked by their staff! Thanks so much for the input!

Yes, I really love working for my organization. I only hear good things from other people, too. HCA hospitals, however...i would stay away from. All I hear is bad stuff.

I have to update my reply with an addendum. After working at SPG a few weeks post my reply I will still say that the co-workers are very nice but promises made were not kept. As a result I would not recommend St. Pete General. As a matter of course I no longer work there.
