Ft. Myers Seasonal RN's

I have spoken to Lee Memorial about their seasonal nursing positions.

They will give $1000.00 toward housing and pay health benefits for 2 FULL years if you commit to 2 seasonal employments of 6 months, 1 day.

Has anyone had experience doing this? From what I hear, there are a surplus of nice apartments available at this time. My reason for wanting to do this is my love of Sanibel. I would be spending my days off there. I would love to rent there but the island is very expensive for monthly rates, especially as it will be high season.

They have not released jobs to traveler agencies yet. Perhaps they are waiting to see how many seasonals they can get first.

Thanks for any info. in advance.

I'm not sure when the season start for Lee Memorial but the nurses are not getting any hours now. I work @ Shell Point and our PRN staff is really getting upset because the hospital nurses are getting most of the hours now. Because they are willing to work any floor/shift.

How do you like ShellPoint? I came down in July to apply for seasonal work there and am coming back in 2 weeks for the winter. I was really hoping to get 3-4 12 hour shifts a week there....maybe not??

I like Shell Point. The is pay ok, but benefits are good. Are you an LPN or RN? The rate for PRN RN is $23 for days and $26 for nights. For LPN $20 days and $23 for nights. Their is an assisted living facility next to Health Park Hospital (another Lee Memorial Hospital) I think it is call The Cove. I heard they pay well, or you can always try places in Naples.

I am really hoping to get into ShellPoint. I went there in July and put an application on file. I will be returning the 2nd week of October. I have heard there is quite a few places in Naples. Guess I better check that out too. Thanks a bunch!

I am surprised to hear the offer for a traveler for Lee Memorial, we were told there would be no travelers this year in the system. In fact the former travelers we had we not picked up for this year. Perhaps it all depends on at which campus?

This is seasonal that I was offered which is different than traveler. I was told the same, no travelers unless they did not get any seasonal nurses. Seasonals are hired directly by the hospital, work 6 months, 1 day and are required to contract to 2 years.
