Hiring nurses in Broward
Broward is Soko’s home county, and its hiring market has two halves: the coastal cities from Hallandale Beach to Deerfield Beach, dense with skilled nursing and assisted living, and the western suburbs from Pembroke Pines to Coral Springs, where hospitals and newer communities compete for the same RNs and LPNs. Memorial, Broward Health, HCA, and Cleveland Clinic set the pay ceiling; long-term care wins on schedule, commute, and leadership. Soko’s network was built here first, and the numbers below are the county’s own.
Largest Medicare-certified nursing homes
- Emerald Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Hollywood 240 beds
- Sunrise Health & Rehabilitation Center, Sunrise 237 beds
- Pearl at Fort Lauderdale Rehabilitation and Nursin, Fort Lauderdale 206 beds
- Broward Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, Fort Lauderdale 198 beds
- John Knox Village of Pompano Beach, Pompano Beach 194 beds
- Deerfield Beach Health and Rehabilitation Center, Pompano Beach 194 beds
- St Johns Nursing Center, Lauderdale Lakes 181 beds
- Margate Health and Rehabilitation Center, Margate 170 beds
Rules that shape hiring in Florida
- Nursing home staffing floor. A Florida nursing home must provide a weekly average of 3.6 hours of direct care per resident per day, including at least 2.0 CNA hours (never fewer than one CNA per 20 residents) and 1.0 licensed-nurse hour (never fewer than one licensed nurse per 40 residents). Paid feeding assistants count toward the 3.6-hour total, not toward the CNA or nurse minimums. Florida Statutes § 400.23(3)(b)1 and (3)(c), as amended by HB 1239 (2022)
- When assisted living needs a nurse. An assisted living facility must hold a limited nursing services or extended congregate care license before it offers those services, and must employ or contract with a nurse to provide them, with a nursing assessment of each such resident at least monthly. Florida Administrative Code 59A-36.021 and 59A-36.022; Florida Statutes §§ 429.07, 429.255
- Home health director of nursing. A home health agency that provides skilled nursing care must have a director of nursing and may not operate more than 30 calendar days without one. AHCA must be notified within 10 business days when a director of nursing leaves and again when one is hired. Florida Statutes § 400.476(2)
For nurses
Nursing in Broward
Broward nurses can choose between four hospital systems, dozens of skilled nursing and rehab buildings, and a growing home health and hospice sector, most of it within a 30-minute drive on I-95, I-595, or the Sawgrass. Tell us the cities you will work in, the shift, and whether you want a unit or a caseload, and we bring roles that fit.
I-95 and the Turnpike run north–south, I-595 and Sheridan Street east–west. A Hollywood nurse can reach Fort Lauderdale or Pembroke Pines in twenty minutes off-peak and forty at shift change. We capture the commute a nurse will accept and match on it.

Which Broward settings hire the most nurses through Soko?
Skilled nursing and assisted living communities first, then skilled home health and hospice agencies, then hospitals hiring RNs onto their own staff. Outpatient, dialysis, and infusion clinics come as they request.
Do you cover all of Broward County?
Yes. Hollywood and the coastal cities, the western suburbs from Miramar to Coral Springs, and the northern cities around Pompano Beach and Deerfield Beach. Nurses tell us how far they will commute, so introductions stay realistic.
Are the numbers on this page for Broward or for the whole metro?
Facility counts, beds, ratings, and population are for Broward County. Pay figures are for the Miami–Fort Lauderdale–West Palm Beach metro, because that is how the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes them. Each figure names its source and date.
How Soko works
The same process for every Broward opening.
Soko Nurse Network
A growing, private, referral-built community of nurses that Soko curates. Your opening goes to our own network first, not a job-board posting.
Reviewed by a registered nurse
Soko was founded by a registered nurse. Every candidate is reviewed for units, patient loads, and fit with the role before an introduction.
Soko Match
Every opening and every nurse is captured on the same details: license, setting, units, shift, and location. Requests are scored the moment they arrive, so the strongest matches move first.
