I too am a tea addict, keeps me warm at night .

Can you pick and choose which hospitals will you float to? NOrthbay is in New Port Richey which seems like an awfully long distance from Tampa. Do you mind emailing me more details to [email protected] Thanks a lot!

I am sorry to hear about your friend. Life is precious! Keeping someone hanging on the life support when there is no chance of improving may seem illogical. I think hospitals do this to comfort families, to ease emotional struggle of the loved ones, who want to believe there is a hope. There is no bigger tragedy than parent who lost their child. This post reminded me how bad I felt after getting hit by a drunk driver in 2002. I still have a scar in my hairline. I was lucky to get away alive, with just a head injury.

This questions is for those of you that work for Baycare System, as an agency RN or for mobile pool. Do you have a decent health insurance. I am on 3 medications for a chronic condition and can not be without it. I mainly need a good prescription plan. Do you have an advice on a good insurance plan?

Thanks for the response Carcam75. I am trying to figure out which one of those hospitals is the best for travelers in terms of friendliness and support. All Baycare hospitals are outside of the required 60-mile radius so there is no restrictions from that standpoint. I heard lots of compliments about St. Joseph Hospital in Tampa, but it's located in a relatively bad area.

I am interested in working for Baycare Hospital system in Tampa region. What are the best rated hospitals in that system, does anybody work as a mobile pool nurse? I currently work at SMH in Sarasota which is licensed for over 600 beds. I am most comfortable working for the big teaching hospitals. I was considering St. Joseph Hospital or Mease Hospital in Clearwater area. I would like to hear some feedback from those of you that work for Baycare Systems, or any Tampa hospitals, the cons and pros, recommendations and what to watch for. Thanks for all suggestions/advice.
