Ok - who are you, what do you do, where abouts in Florida do you live (or if you are not in Floirda, what part of Florida do you want to move too), what is your clinical area, you status (CNA, LPN, RN, Student, Whatever) and anything else you might want to add.
Some of you already know me, I lived in Florida for a little over 20 years. An RN, I worked and lived in Sarasota. Went to nursing school at Manatee Community College and also University of South Florida at Sarasota. Great place .... love the beaches and the area is truly a wonderful place. I generally work surgical recovery and while in Florida, I worked in post open heart step down and also worked as a nurse manager.
I am a single dad raising three children (all are now teenagers - whew is this rough!). They are really great kids and I am a very luck father to have them.
Hello, I'm close to graduating from a LPN program with hopes of passing the Nclex-pn sooner than later. I graduate this May and will be moving to Florida this summer. I'm moving to the Pembroke Pines/Miramar area and I too am a little nervous about the salary, to name one thing... I try to look at the brighter side of things so lets see what happens. I will be looking for a job very soon and hope that being bilingual(english+spanish) helps a bit and raises the pay range...
Hi, I live in Tallahasse and go to TCC (Tallahassee Community College) and trying to get into Nursing in the fall '06. I am a 21 yr old Male and already have my Associates in Arts Degree. I currently work as a runner for a law firm, and live with my younger brother who goes to FSU.
Thanks for the reply ... actually, I no longer live in Florida ..... I moved to North Carolina (in the mountains, by the way), for many of the same reasons you listed. The moderate climate and cooler temps are great.
Good luck in nursing school. What area do you plan of working in after you graduate?
Hi, where in carolina do you live cause I want to live there. FL is crazy.
I long for mountains. What does your husband do there?

I live in Miramar Florida and I am a mental health tech at Memorial Regional Hospital on the children and adolescent psych unit. I been working there since 1999. I am now going to school to get my associates degree to become an occupational therapy assistant.
I'm Dana, 31 y.o. with 2 kids. My family is planning to migrate to Jacksonville, FLorida. I am eyeing to apply in St. Vincent's Medical Center as a nurse. Anyone of you can give me some info about the hospital, basic pay, and benefits for their staff? I also would like to know about Jacksonville as a community, their education and religious practices.
Though I can search some of my questions in the internet, but i think there is nothing like a feedback from someone who really is/ has been there.
