Florida Hospital performs more than 40,000 different surgeries each year, including cardiovascular, laser, peripheral vascular, neurosurgery, plastic, microsurgery, limb replantation, urological surgery, kidney transplantation, gynecological, spine and total joint surgery. As a Medical Surgical Nurse Resident working in this active and diverse patient setting, you'll enjoy a flexible environment that supports professional growth. You'll also have an opportunity to work in one of several specialized service areas ranging from oncology to orthopedics.

Nursing care on our Medical Surgical Units is delivered in a variety of models, including:

  • Care Pairs (experienced RN working together with a new Graduate RN or LPN) (This model is the one that's utilized for most Medical Surgical Residents.)
  • Traditional RN and PCT team
  • Care Team (RN and LPN using Team Nursing approach)

Utilizing these models for care, we're able to maintain a lower nurse patient ratio that is based on the workload of the patients, shift and unit. As a result, our nurses are able to elevate the level of care that they provide to each patient. If you desire a residency that offers variety, as well as a supportive development atmosphere, then Florida Hospital's Medical Surgical Nurse Residency is an excellent match for you.
