![]() The cost of living in the Tampa Bay area of Florida is very similar to the cost of living up north, but we have to make do with a lot less money. These stupid deed restricted master planned communities that are everywhere in the Tampa Bay area are expensive. Our cell phone bills are just as expensive. Our salaries are lower than nurses up north. They know their jobs are secure and they are well paid.Ĭompare that to Florida. They are not at all worried about the current economy. They are very happy in their nursing careers. My nurse friends earn very good money and live in very nice houses and live comfortably. The type of hospitals with Magnet status and that only hire RNs who have their BSN. I have friends I went to nursing school with who stayed in Philadelphia, and they work in some of the best hospitals in the USA. Nurses in NJ/NY/PA earn much better salaries and better benefits and live very comfortably. Technology, equipment, training, education, staffing, all much better in PA/NJ/NY in comparison to Florida. The hospitals up north are much much better. In my experience, healthcare in Florida is very backwards and is many years behind healthcare in NY/NJ/PA. Dad now has many health problems as well. I had no choice after graduation but to leave PA/NJ/NY and relocate to the Tampa Bay area of Florida. My Dad's job transfered him down here to the Tampa Bay area while I was halfway through college. The only reason I am living in Florida is because of my parents. I went to nursing school in Pennsylvania, right outside of Philadelphia. We lived in North Jersey, very very close to NYC. ![]()
