Nursing Jobs By State

Truly a century institution, Florida State Hospital was established in 1876 in Chattahoochee, FL, on the site of the old United States Arsenal. Until 1947, this center was Florida?s lone state mental institution, and to this day remains the largest statewide facility specialized in mental and physical disabilities. Located in a 620 acre campus about 40 miles south of west Tallahassee, it employs close to 2,500 employees and has a capacity to attend 491 civil (adult and elderly) and 646 forensic (incompetent to proceed) residents. Florida State Hospital offers many services destined to improve the quality of life not only of the residents of community, but also to those of the whole state of Florida: psychiatric and medical treatment, psychiatric rehabilitation, Judicial Competency Training, Behavioral Services, Internal Case Management, Resident Advocacy, Educational Services, Horticultural and Music Therapy, Vocational Training, Library services, Religious services, individual/group Counseling and Substance Abuse Services, Legal Services and Financial and Banking Services.

Looking for a job at Florida State Hospital might be a little bit of an adventure: since this is state operated facility, it is recommended that you first register in the official Florida State job database. Once you have done that, you can browse for a position, but be warned: the possibilities are almost endless, and the filters provided by the website?s browser are not very helpful, either. So if are interested to work for the largest mental health facility in Florida and you don?t mind spending some of your time looking on the internet for the right position, then Florida State Hospital might just be the place for you.
