Florida is one of the most-populous states, with unique issues in regards to health care. Florida's large immigrant population (18% of the population as of 2003) continues to grow and many of the incoming residents do not speak English - bilingual ability is a plus in many US communities but may be essential for the urban nurse in Florida.

Several major universities, colleges, and two-year schools offer nursing degrees and certification upgrades. Health care practitioners across all fields earned an average (mean) hourly wage of $26.43 in 2004. There is an ongoing nursing shortage in Florida, and high signing bonuses and good job security are offered by many of the state's best hospitals, clinics, and elder-care facilities.

National Programs: The following schools are accepting students from across the country.
