More about Charming Lakes Rehabilitation

RN postings list all shifts, and there is a permanent Weekend RN Supervisor track where you oversee nursing services, supervise staff, round, monitor med administration, and help evaluate LPNs and CNAs beside the DON and ADON. Pay on our one posting sits at $36 an hour; the public RN range is stated at $35–$40 based on experience. Benefits named on the RN posting include 401(k), generous PTO, medical and dental, employee recognition programs, and opportunities for career growth. The employer site still displays Top Work Place, Excelsior 2023, and Regional Multi-Year June 2024 badges, and staff get a Working Advantage perks portal. Lakeland’s cost of living runs a little under the national level, Florida has no state income tax, and it is a compact-license state. You will need a Florida Level 2 background screening through the Clearinghouse. Public Glassdoor feedback is thin and low so far—2.3 out of 5 from only two ratings—so you will want to ask direct questions on your tour.

Employee recognition programs and listed opportunities for career growth and advancement on the RN posting; employer site displays Top Work Place and related badges.
