Starting out and growing here
The city
Living in Palm Coast, FL
Palm Coast sits along Florida's Atlantic coast between Daytona Beach and St. Augustine, offering nurses a quieter, residential lifestyle threaded with canals and golf courses. The Intracoastal Waterway borders the city, and Flagler Beach's shoreline is minutes away. It appeals to RNs who prefer a slower coastal pace over big-city hustle.

Who they are

More about AdventHealth Daytona Beach
A three-story ambulatory surgery center and medical office building already opened on site, so the growth is not only a rendering on a wall. On the floor, nurses tend to describe each other as kind and family-like. Posted RN ranges sit roughly in the low-thirties to low-fifties an hour depending on unit, with float-pool listings stretching higher, and eligible candidates have been offered up to $20,000 sign-on plus $3,000 relocation. Florida’s lack of state income tax and the Palm Coast area’s relatively reachable housing are part of the practical math if you are moving. The same voices that praise teammates also flag real strain: floating when ratios tighten, and a sense that administration can be slow to hear staffing needs. You get a Pathway to Excellence facility with a long string of Leapfrog “A” grades and strong regional rankings — and you should still ask hard questions about float expectations and how experienced pay stacks against new-hire offers.
Mission framed as Extending the Healing Ministry of Christ, with an emphasis on whole-person nursing care.
