Moving to Florida

Hi all! I am about to move to the Gulf Coast of Florida from NJ. I am an LPN and will be looking for work soon after moving. Can anyone tell me, do hospitals in Florida hire LPNs? Also, what is the average hourly I should be asking for?

Any help would be appreciated!

    I have only met 1 LPN that worked in a small rural hospital in my region NE florida…and she had worked there for 20 years.

    ASN's are not even favored anymore.

    I work for a major health system on the Gulf Coast (and throughout Central Florida) that hires LPNs. No idea what their average wage is though, sorry!

    I moved to florida (I am Northern Florida) from CT last year. I know up north the hospitals had LPN's. Down South is another story. I honestly don't think they hire LPN's. Instead, hospitals hire patient care technicians (PCT's). PCT's are nurses assistants, and i'm sure that would be a pay cut. Also, moving down south is a big pay cut from up north. Good luck to you.
