I am currently an LPN in the state of Georgia, come November I will be moving to the Gulf County, Bay County area of Florida. Can anyone help me find out what I need to do in order to get my Florida Lis. and give me an idea of the pay scale for an LPN in this area. Thank You Samantha
P.S. I just joined this site today and I have really enjoyed the info I have read so far.

Hi, I don't live in Florida (I live in Michigan), but I do carry a Florida nursing license. If you go to the Board of Nursing for Florida online, they give you all the info you could need and downloadable forms there. That's what I did when I applied for mine last year.
As far as pay goes, I was offered around $16 and hour for LTC, that was the Zephyrhills area. But i don't know the norm for all of Florida or anything.
Hope this helps some, good luck! :)
