ChristopherB, BSN, RN 59 Posts Specializes in MICU, SICU, CVICU, CCU, and Neuro ICU. Has 16 years experience. Jan 17, 2020 I'm an ICU RN with over a decade of experience. I was offered an ICU position at Tampa General in 2019. Their initial offer was lower than expected, around $33/hr, and after telling them that It was a huge pay cut from another state with a low cost of living, they raised the offer to $37/hr to start.

exol112, BSN 16 Posts Specializes in Intermediate Care Unit. Has 4 years experience. Feb 24, 2020 Any information regarding the culture of the hospitals in the mentioned area? How's the nurse-patient ratio? Shift differentials? I've got one year of Med-Tele experience, how likely will I be able to go to another specialty? Thanks!

I've got one year of Med-Tele experience, how likely will I be able to go to another specialty? Thanks!I've only done HCA and BayCare. My HCA info is a little dated because this was a couple years ago, but it was 6:1 MS/tele, 5:1 PCU. Nights was 6-8:1 MS/tele, can't speak to the other floors. BayCare varies by hospital. 4-5:1 MS/tele days, 5-6:1 nights, although I have been told certain floors will go up to 7:1 on nights, I haven't seen it. I don't have personal experience with Bayfront, but I heard from coworkers that they are 6:1 days and 7:1 on nights in MS/tele.For shift diff, at BayCare you get $5/hr extra for nights. You have to apply to an internship program to get in to a specialty with BayCare, which comes with a contract. I think that's pretty standard for the area though, from what I've seen. I've had a much more positive experience with BayCare than with HCA in terms of hospital culture.
DowntheRiver 983 Posts Specializes in Urgent Care, Oncology. Has 9 years experience. Mar 2, 2020 Moffitt paid decently. I was at $32 and change when I left recently with 5 years experience. My friends told me they just gave another cost of living raise. They're a Magnet facility so you have to do clinical ladder if you want to go up 5%. I'm doing private practice Oncology at $32 right now. It isn't the greatest, but I only have to drive 30 minutes roundtrip whereas with Moffitt my commute was 2 hours roundtrip.

I have a hard time convincing myself to take a pay cut and increase my commute at the same time when there's so many closer options. But, I like oncology, so they really are where I want to go.

Night shift is $5 more shift differential for any nurse. You can easily make $35+/hour dayshift with experience. It depends on specialty. They pay well.I know this is a old post so I hope you or someone else sees, but does Baycare hire ADN new grads? Or is it mostly BSN. I am planning to apply, I graduate December 2020.

imanurse12 1 Post Jul 28, 2020 @DowntheRiver Hi! I have a question about Moffitt I am really hoping someone can answer. Would you mind messaging me? I don't have privileges to direct message just yet.
