I'm curious to know if you become employed with Florida Hospital is it easy to move around within the hospital? As in transferring to a different type of unit?

Not sure if its easy to transfer but I know their pay sucks! I have been a nurse for 2 years on a progressive care unit and applied for a similar floor @ Florida hospital (I'm relocating). They wanted to offer me 22.67 for a progressive care floor with 4 patients and no techs!! I was like are u serious??? So now I've accepted a position @ ORMC on a med surg floor. Their night shift diff is great. Florida hospital only pays a % for nights.

Hi, I work at Fl. Hospital. Can I ask a few questions about ORMC? What is the pay there-I mean for day shift with 2 years experience? Is it similar?

And what is the night shift at ORMC. Because Fl. Hospitals night shifts make about 35% more than days so I was just wondering.

How many patients do you get on med surge at ORMC 4 or 5? And do you have a tech?

They are suposedly getting rid of techs at Fl. Hospital this is true but I don't think it will last.

As far as the OPs questions regarding moving around to different floors I believe you have to work on the floor that you are hired on for 6 months then you can transfer. But of course you have to have a good record. I have a co-worker who hated a floor and had a bad attendance record and she had trouble transfering due to this.

Night shift diff id as follows for ORMC: 7p-11p is $4.50, 11p-7am is $9.75 and weekend is $3.60. Florida hospital told me the shift diff is 13% to 16% of your pay (was offered 22.67 for 2 years exp). I have my AND so maybe they pay more for a bachelors.

The floor I interviewed for was a neuro progressive care unit. So when the hiring manager said that I would have 4 neuro patients (stroke=total care) with no techs I souldnt believe it. At ORMC there are techs and u get 5 patients sometimes 6 on a med surg floor.

Ok thanks for the info. But is the base pay similar-you said $22.67 at Fl Hosp-what is the day shift rate at ORMC?

Yeah I know that neuro floor, and they had techs or still do have but phasing out? and that would be a nightmare without a tech.

But honestly I would rather have 4 patients without techs than 6 with a tech. 6 patients is too many IMO.

Good luck to you!

I've been applying at ORMC as well. That is all very good info. I'm curious to know the base pay as well.

Between $24-25

I am astonished at the base pay for GNs at Florida Hospital--it is currently at $21

Between $24-25

This is base pay with 2 years experience or GN? Thanks again!

Base pay for GNs at FH is slightly above $22. ORMC pays $21.85 for GNs.

I just accepted a job with FL hospital as a new grad BSN and base pay for GN is 22.08 (12 hours), 15% differential for nights, and 13% for weekends. After orientation differentials for nights go to 35%. PCU neuro has techs and 4:1 to 5:1 ratio.

I've been trying to get a job with FL Hospital but each time I apply I get a NO thank you - denial email in a matter of couple of hours. Am I missing sth?
