Nursing Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a nursing in Florida?
To work as a registered nurse in Florida, you must hold an active license issued by the Florida Board of Nursing. The path begins with completing an accredited nursing program, either an associate degree in nursing or a bachelor of science in nursing, then passing the NCLEX-RN exam. Florida also participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact, so nurses licensed in compact states can practice in Florida without a separate state license.
How much do nursings make in Florida?
Nursings in Florida earn a median of about $37,510 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $34,350 for the lowest 10% to over $46,790 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire nursings in Florida?
Companies currently hiring nursings in Florida include Baptist Health, SYNERGY HomeCare, and Cornerstone Caregiving, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Florida's large integrated health systems, Veterans Affairs medical centers, and county public health departments are among the most consistent sources of full-time nursing openings across the state.
Which Florida cities have the most nursing jobs?
Jacksonville, Miami, and Orlando have the most nursing openings in Florida. Miami's concentration of major academic medical centers and trauma hospitals drives demand in South Florida, while Tampa and Orlando anchor large regional health systems like AdventHealth and HCA Florida Healthcare that post openings continuously across dozens of campuses and specialty units.
Are there remote nursing jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're rare. Nursing is primarily a hands-on clinical role, so most positions require on-site patient care. About 8% of nursing openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those tend to be in telehealth triage, utilization review, case management, or insurance pre-authorization rather than direct bedside care.
How can I get hired as a nursing in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a nurse residency program designed for new graduates. AdventHealth, HCA Florida Healthcare, and Baptist Health all run structured new-grad residency programs at Florida campuses that provide paid clinical training and mentorship before independent assignment. Applying to med-surg or telemetry units is the most common starting point, and candidates who hold a current Florida Board of Nursing license and a BLS certification before applying move through screening faster.
