New to NOVA

U.S.A. Virginia

Published

Hello, I just moved to Nova. I have been a L/D RN for more than 5 years. Each hospital I have looked into either does not pay well or is understaffed and delivers 1000 babies per month. I am feeling very discouraged.Does anyone have any ideas????:idea:

Specializes in Telemetry, Nursery, Post-Partum.
Well I am FROM northern VA and have been working in FL for the past 6.5 years as a RN. Florida is SAD in the way of salary. I only make $23.50/hr with all my years of experience. I started at $17/hr in 2000. The pay is pitiful... and let me tell you- GAS, FOOD, and CLOTHING costs MORE here than it does in N. VA.

I am in the process of relocating back up there since my divorce is final.

I didn't realize gas and such was more expensive down there, that's stinky! And so's that pay rate...what part of Florida are you in?
