Is your Boca Raton offer good?

Job boards show one weekly number. What matters is the split: tax-free stipends can't exceed the GSA ceiling for Boca Raton / Delray Beach / Jupiter, and the rest is taxable pay. Example: a $3,100/week package with both stipends at the max is $2,003 tax-free and $1,097 taxable, about $30/hour over 36 hours. That taxable share is under 40%, which shrinks overtime, holiday pay and 401(k) contributions.

Aim for $3,650–$4,850/month in rent (60–80% of the ceiling). Landlords often price right up to the ceiling; with a stipend at the max, staying in that range keeps about $1,221–$2,421 a month for you.
Median 1-bedroom rent in Boca Raton: $2,152/month across all renters. New furnished short-term leases cost more, sometimes far more in tight markets, so check listings near the hospital before you accept.
