Florida NICU reviews

[NebraskaRN]

I am going to check out Florida and then plan to move there. I think in the Tampa area. So if anyone could tell me anything about the NICU's in the area that would be great. I have looked into Tampa General Hospital and All Children's Hospital.

All Children's NICU is a higher acuity center...so it depends on what type of experiences you would like to have as a RN!

Any interest in Orlando? Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and Babies has the 4th largest NICU in the country with (if I remember correctly) 112 beds.

I have worked in a level 3 NICU in upstate NY for 4 years. The NICU I work in has nurseries it is interesting to think of private rooms. I would like to stay in the St. Petersburg/Tampa area, I have family in this area. Although I am open to moving to florida, and I am trying to figure out where to go.

All Childrens Hospital

Tampa General Hospital

Saint Josephs Childrens Hospital

Florida NICU Nurses?

I have 3+ years experience in a level 3 regional NICU and I am looking into these hospitals and NICU's. I still want a fairly large level 3 NICU. So what can you tell me??? Good to work for? Benefits? Pay (I know nurse dependent)? Parking? Anything?

I have researched these hospitals and these are my top 3. All Childrens just went to a huge 97 bed NICU. Tampa General and Saint Josephs are going to in the nest couple of years. I also have put in applications and have had phone interviews. I want to know what the nurses who work there have to say. Also I have done alot of archive hunting but I was hopeful for more recent information.

You're probably going to get a better response by putting this in the FL nursing forum and giving it a more specific title than "Calling all nurses." Just a thought.

I second the recommendation to try the FL forum with a much more specific title....

I did and I posted in the FL as well, but no reply
