Anyone here work for or ever worked for Piedmont Newnan Hospital? I'm considering moving to a job closer to home. Anyone have an opinion they would like to share?

Run away far away, I worked there for one year though agency, it's a very small country hospital with backwoods nurses ( not all of them). if you want to work there my best advice is going PRN. their ICU is a joke, i never seen hospice or DNR's in ICU but you will see them there, I worked in just about every area but L&D, if your an Rn i would go to the main hospital in atlanta, the commute is worth it, you don't want to put your license in harms way, cause they sure will!

Actually I did my clinical rotation for L&D at Atlanta Piedmont. Run, don't walk away from that one too. "physician-run" they brag about on their website (not good for nurses) and catty, nasty nurses that continually bash you behind your back. In my case, those same nurses managed to do a lot of harm during my clinicals and got me kicked out without basis. I almost sued my school for letting them and them for slander. But it was in the final 7 weeks and I needed to graduate!

Good luck in your decision!

I have to agree to look elsewhere. That hospital just finished a merger and they have laid off staff. They are planning to build a new hospital by 2010, so it might be an option down the road.....Good Luck!

Thanks to all who have answered so far--I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be happy working there anyway, but I thought I would ask. I currently work in Atlanta right now and I am just tired of the 40 mile drive and the rising gas prices. Looks like I will be communiting awhile longer.

Is that one related to the Piedmont in Rock Hill SC.? That's the only Piedmont I was aware of.
