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.
Lower cost of living, low cost housing, lower wages. which Florida are you living in?? lol
