Who they are
You would be walking into HCA Florida Memorial’s brand-new freestanding emergency room on Merrill Road in Jacksonville’s Arlington area—an $8.3M site with 11 private rooms and one trauma bay.
More about HCA FL Merrill Road Emergency
The work covers emergency and life-threatening care for all ages, from broken bones to heart attack and stroke, with care zones that include triage, rapid treatment, pediatric ER, trauma, and behavioral health. If you take the Lead path, you guide the team delivering that care in a full-time charge-style role; staff RN postings have included part-time nights with rotating weekends. Sign-on and relocation help are listed for qualified Lead candidates, and the Memorial total-rewards package tied to the role includes medical with Rx and behavioral health, free telemedicine, free AirMed transport, dental and vision options, 401(k) matching, education assistance, and related benefits. Florida adds no state income tax, and Jacksonville’s cost of living sits near the national average, so many nurses weigh nearby neighborhoods like Arlington against the drive. One clear gap: pay figures circulating online are third-party predictions only, and because the ER is newly opened you will not yet find a deep bench of unit-level nurse reviews.
Working here
Culture and working life
What to consider
The good
- Brand-new freestanding ER with 11 private rooms and a trauma bay
- RN Lead / charge role posted to lead the care team
- Sign-on bonus listed for qualified candidates
- Relocation assistance listed for qualified candidates
- Education assistance and broad Memorial total-rewards benefits (medical, free telemedicine, AirMed, 401(k) match)
- Full emergency scope including ESI triage, peds, trauma, and behavioral health
The hard parts
- Only salary detail available is an unconfirmed third-party prediction, not an HCA offer
- Facility is brand new, so unit culture and nurse reviews are not established yet
- Staff RN posting skews part-time nights with rotating weekends
- Roles seek experienced ER nurses rather than new-grad pipelines
What to weigh
The only salary figure in circulation is a third-party predicted range of about $72,000–$108,000 for the Lead role—not a confirmed HCA base offer—and the freestanding ER is so new you will not find unit-level nurse reviews yet.
