I believe salary range is $22.oo new grad up to $35.00. As to five years experience. I am not sure. I imagine it has to do with in which field and is it a specialty with a high need. Florida tends to pay low, but I do think one can always try bargaining.

Hey there, I'm a Canadian as well. I've been working in the USA for 2 years in Boston. I also have a vacation condo on siesta key near Sarasota because I hoped to work there. Unfortunately I can't save any money if I lived there. Although fort myers has a in house nursing travel dept. You work there during the fall to early spring then go home. You contract for 2 years. They didn't need any OR nurses so I didn't look further.

Good luck!!
