I don't know which part of the country you are moving from, but you need to know that wages in Florida are lower than in the northeast, lower than on either coast. This is true for all jobs, not just nursing.
The lower earnings are somewhat offset by the lower cost of living and no state income tax.
Also, if you are selling a house in a high cost area, you will find that the cost of a comparable house in Florida is less. Stick to your budget and you may have investible cash remaining.
So my advice is to look for a nursing job with an easy commute, in a facility with happy co-workers, and don't worry about the pay.
