According to the Florida Center for Nursing, the number of Florida nursing jobs is steadily on the rise, growing at about 5% per year. However, Florida, like most of the country, is experiencing an extreme shortage of qualified nurses. It is expected that over 8,000 new nursing jobs in Florida will be created for each of the coming years. Most of these Florida nursing jobs will be created in hospitals and home health agencies.

A registered nurse (RN) is an individual who has graduated from a diploma school, associate degree or baccalaureate program, licensed to practice nursing. American nurses take a state nursing examination, known as the NCLEX-RN, which allows them to practice nursing in their home state, or in other compact states. The Nurse Practice Act of each state governs the scope of practice of registered nurses. Registered nurses oversee patient care performed by a licensed practical nurse, licensed vocational nurse, and nursing assistants. Registered nurses, known as first level nurses in the United Kingdom, must be registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council.
