Lee Memorial?

In Lee county one company bought all of the Hospitals and now runs a monopoly for patient care. If your a Nurse and want to work in Lee county, you work for the Lee Memorial group.

Due to this monoply they can offer low wages and GET nurses to accept it. Where else are you going to go. The hospitals in countys close by pay far better and have better benefits.

Lee Memorial= high stress, high nurse patient ratios, low pay. The patient population is geriatric, or non english speaking hispanics.

I understand that but I was interested in GN or RN pay. Also, if anyone knows ARNP pay for the system.

Do you work in Charlotte County? What is the pay there? How does it differ from Lee Memorial?

What about Collier County? Do you work there?

Thanks :)

GNs/new RNs start at approx $21.5/hr at LMHS. I dont know what NPs make there.

thank you so much!

do you know the differentials there?

nights?

weekends?

holidays?

Charlotte county pays higher and the cost of living is lower there. Collier county pays about the same as Lee county however the cost of living there is VERY high.

As with most hospitals in Florida the nurse pt / ratio is beyond most nurses comfort levels. In other words, you'll be very tired at the end of your shift.
