The city
Living in Lakeland, FL
Lakeland sits between Tampa and Orlando, offering a slower pace with easy access to both metros. True to its name, the city is dotted with lakes, including Lake Mirror near downtown. It's a mid-size Florida community where outdoor recreation and local events shape everyday life for residents.

Who they are
You would be walking into a skilled nursing and rehab center at 1010 Carpenters Way in Lakeland, not a big hospital tower. The RN work here is long-term care: care plans, staff oversight, delegation, and keeping the floor inside state rules.

More about Wedgewood Healthcare and Rehabilitation

If you want the lead on evenings, the Evening Supervisor (RN/LPN) role is posted full-time 3:00 PM–11:00 PM in the $77,500–$87,500 range and has you running the nursing team that shift. Benefits called out on the postings include medical, dental, PTO, retirement on the supervisor side, plus a personal floating holiday and recognition perks on the RN side. CMS quality measures land at 5.0 (including long-stay), while health inspection and staffing sit at 3.0. Staff turnover is 40% and RN turnover 25%, with weekend RN hours per resident day lower than the weekday picture. You get a clear sense of the floor before you apply.
