Do you have LTC experience? Its difficult right now for inexperienced new grad LPNs and RNs to find jobs in this area.

If you're moving here from out of state, don't be surprised if the pay is lower than what you're used to.

You have to include "Rehab" facilities in your LTC search. They are almost all 8-hour shifts, though I hear there is a 12-hour facility in Zepherhills.

Experienced RNs may make 22-24 or so. Inquire about the benefits - don't assume anything. Cambridge Quality Care is a big conglomeration here in Pinellas. Don't waste time applying at all their facilities - do one application and make some calls.

Do you need experience to work there? Doesn't appear to be the case.
