    CVICU RN

    Ocala, Florida Permanent Nights (7p–7a) | Rotating Weekends

    The Opportunity

    This is a high-acuity cardiovascular ICU opportunity in one of Florida's most dynamic hospital markets, a 323-bed ACS Level I Trauma Center and the region's only Comprehensive Stroke Center. If you are a CVICU RN who wants to build real clinical depth, ventilated patients, complex drips, advanced cardiovascular cases, this unit delivers that experience. Four positions are open, and this team is actively looking to fill them.

    Shifts are nights, 7p to 7a, with rotating weekends. The patient population is complex, the team is collaborative, and the acuity will challenge and sharpen any experienced ICU nurse. This is a permanent, staff-level role, not a contract, not a travel assignment.

    The comprehensive benefits package includes medical coverage with low or no out-of-pocket costs, dental, vision, life and disability options, free telemedicine, and a 401(k) with a 100% employer match on 3% to 9% of pay based on years of service. Additional offerings include an employee stock purchase plan, tuition and certification assistance, fertility and adoption benefits, paid family leave, and relocation assistance for the right candidate.

    Candidates must hold a Florida RN license or an approved multistate compact license. Compact holders have 60 days post-relocation to obtain Florida licensure. A minimum of one year of recent acute care ICU RN experience is required; candidates with two or more years of step-down or PCU RN experience may also be considered. BLS is required within 30 days of hire; ACLS within 90 days. An associate degree is the minimum; BSN is preferred.

    If this is the move you have been considering, do not wait on it. Reply directly or book a brief confidential call and we will get back to you the same day.

    Why Ocala?

    Ocala sits in the heart of Marion County in north-central Florida, and it wears its identity well. This is the Horse Capital of the World, home to more thoroughbred farms per square mile than anywhere else in the country. Rolling green pasture, white-fence estates, and a genuine sense of open space set it apart from every other Florida market. Cost of living runs well below the state's coastal metros, there is no state income tax, and the school options, both public and private, are solid. A revitalized downtown square anchors a growing food and arts scene that gives the city a distinct, livable energy.

    For anyone drawn to the outdoors, Ocala is genuinely hard to beat. The Ocala National Forest spans nearly 400,000 acres of hiking, camping, and freshwater springs. Silver Springs State Park, Rainbow Springs, and dozens of natural swimming holes are all within easy reach. The city also sits at a useful crossroads: Orlando is roughly 90 minutes south, Tampa about 75 minutes to the southwest, and Gainesville less than 45 minutes north. That proximity to major metros, airports, professional sports, major concerts, and big-city dining, without any of the big-city overhead is one of the more underrated advantages of calling this part of Florida home. For a nurse open to relocating somewhere warm, affordable, and genuinely interesting, Ocala has a way of surprising people once they actually see it.
