And the students will have access to the entire UF health system, including Jacksonville.

Florida is just opening up its nursing licensing system to a network allow reciprocity for nurses - the traveling nurses I know would love to come here, but their license doesnt transfer yet.

The plans for the new UF Hospital south of 44 which was supposed to be built on the Lake County line has been put on hold. I heard a Villages Hospital official talk at a Villages club meeting this winter and he said that hospitals are no longer profitable and that the new UF hospital is not moving forward at this time. He also talked about the nursing shortage and that they were thinking of getting foreign nurses.
