What this means if you apply here

  • Contract spending here is not unusual for a Florida hospital of this type, so focus your questions on the unit itself.
  • Fewer staff per bed than most comparable Florida hospitals, so ask how assignments are built.

  • Are permanent roles open on those units, and what sign-on terms come with them?
  • What is the typical RN assignment on the unit I would join?
