What stands out
Moving here
Florida takes no state income tax out of your paycheck, which matters when you are weighing a move to Fort Lauderdale.
Moving here
Florida is a compact-license state, so a multistate compact license can cover you without a separate state application.
Moving here
Nurses often choose slightly inland suburbs such as Tamarac, Lauderhill, or Plantation for a quieter residential feel than the beachfront core.

More affordable Fort Lauderdale pockets like Melrose Park, Lauderdale Manors, Lake Aire Palm View, and Riverland give you single-family options a short drive from downtown and the water.
Experienced nurses
Broward Health sits nearby among other local health employers if you want to compare options in the same metro.
Travel nurses
Walkable urban pockets such as Flagler Village, Downtown, Las Olas, and Riverwalk suit shorter stays when you want condo-style living close to the core.
The city
Living in Miami, FL
Miami pairs no state income tax with a cost of living about 14% above the national average. Dodge steep Brickell rents by commuting via Metrorail from leafy Coconut Grove or Dadeland, then spend post-shift mornings paddle-boarding in January or grabbing Cuban coffee before afternoon storms roll in.

More about Nicklaus Children's Hospital
The record we have is thin on unit texture, pay ranges, and residency structure, so most of what you can plan around today is place: Florida charges no state income tax, and it is a compact-license state if you already carry a multistate license. Cost of living sits about 14% above the national price level, which is the tradeoff you feel when you start apartment or house hunting. Nurses and other working adults often land slightly inland in Tamarac, Lauderhill, or Plantation for a quieter residential rhythm, or in more affordable Fort Lauderdale pockets such as Melrose Park, Lauderdale Manors, Lake Aire Palm View, Riverland, and Poinciana Park. If you want walkable or condo-style living, people point to Flagler Village, Downtown, Las Olas, and Riverwalk. Nearby names in the same metro include Broward Health and several other health employers, which gives you comparison points if you are mapping the local market. Beyond that geography, specific shift patterns, ratios, and benefits for this campus are not yet filled in.
