More about working here
New graduates
A Med-Surg track is explicitly listed on new-grad StaRN postings for this Tamarac campus, so you have a concrete first-unit path rather than an open-ended float pool.

Moving here
Florida takes no state income tax, and Woodmont has been a major in-city employer in Tamarac since the 1970s, so many nurses keep the commute local instead of crossing the metro.

More about HCA Florida Woodmont Hospital
It has served Broward since 1974, sits inside the HCA Florida network, and runs a wide floor plate: PCU for cardiac and med-surg pre- and post-op care, a newly renovated family-friendly ER, a Primary Stroke Center, an Orthopedic and Spine Institute, inpatient behavioral health across age groups with PHP/IOP and Baker Act receiving, a 21,000 square-foot inpatient rehab center, plus wound care, women’s, and vascular services. If you are new, the HCA StaRN/Nurse Residency is the practical on-ramp here—year-long, with 11–22 weeks of clinical orientation and classes that start frequently across South Florida. Med-Surg is an explicit track on local new-grad postings, and full-time mixed schedules with rotating weekends (including 0.9 FTE) show up on those same listings. You do not need your Florida RN license on day one, but you will need it within the first three weeks. What nurses and staff write publicly is mixed rather than glowing: Indeed sits around 3.6/5 across roughly 95 reviews, with pay/benefits and management softer than learning and purpose themes. Healthgrades recognitions for surgical care, orthopedic surgery, and patient safety are on the record; staff RN wages from our own postings are not, so you will want to confirm the offer number directly.
Above all else, committed to the care and improvement of human life.
