Well, I stay 20 minutes from Tampa, ( Hudson,Fl) and I'll be making 10.50 at a rehab facility for night shift, no experience

Is this for a RN or LPN position? If that's what they are staring nurses off then things do not look good over there.

Lucky :) I heard a rumor that RN's make around $22/hour. I heard the Tampa area does not compensate extra for having a BSN compared to an Associates. Also, I heard the market was rough for new grads (not sure if you are a new grad). A lot of the hospitals were hiring for 13 week contracts for the snowbirds. I would apply asap if the positions are open and get your foot in the door. Health South was hiring a few months ago. Look in the surrounding areas (Pinellas Park, Largo, etc).

Yeah I'm looking for an RN job. I loomed at some of the Tampa hospitals and there were lots of jobs posted for RNs and I'm hoping to get in somewhere down there. I have lpn experience but I'm a new grad RN

I am sure you will find a job :) I just saw this posted. Up here rehab and some hospitals take your LPN experience and divide it in half to figure out RN experience (ex: 10 years LPN = 5 years RN). Good luck!

No, its for CNAs, but I have a friend who's an RN and she said she makes 15 to 20 an hour, counting the differential for weekends.

Ok, I found the section for Florida here on the forums, so hopefully, both of us will know more as I do live here now. https://allnurses.com/florida-nurses/
