Thank you all for the information...I really appreciate it. The bottom line is: Less money, better quality of life...It's going to be a tough decision.

Hi... I originally posted this in the Florida Nursing Forum but didn't get any replies. If anyone has any information please help me out I am currently residing in New Jersey and I am very interested in relocating to the Port Charlotte area in Florida. I just have a few questions and concerns: 1)I am a nurse with 25 years experience working in the ER and Trauma units. I would like to know the current salary range for someone with my experience to see if it would be beneficial for me to move to Florida. 2)Do the hospitals offer 12 hour shifts and Baylor positions? 3)Are the nurses expected to be physicians hand maidens? Are nurses considered respected professionals and treated with the same accord? I only ask this because at my current position the nurses are encouraged to use their critical thinking skills and work as a team member with the physician. I'm looking forward to your input in regards to these issues as I just got back from a Florida vacation and would really enjoy living down there.
