Hi,
I was awarded the Piedmont Scholarship, and I am still debating whether or not I'm taking it. If I do, I could be commited to working for them for 2 years. I have a few questions about Piedmont, hope you can help......
Do nurses in L&D, Mother/baby, and NICU float through those units??

Are the nurses required to wear certain color scrubs like at some other hospitals??

Is there onsite or nearby day-care?

Were you a piedmont scholar?

What's the likelihood of a new grad getting a position in one of the above mentioned units?

Is there a standard nurseatient ratio?

Anything else you would like to share about working at piedmont??



thanks for your help in advance

I wouldn't work at Piedmont Hosp if they paid me triple those 2 years.
They nearly cost me my entire nursing school career and thousands of dollars and anxiety.

I recommend you check out the Georgia forum. You will see plenty other replies not unlike my own.

Good luck in making your decision.

(I'm curious though, did you graduate from Kennesaw Univ by any chance? )

I started my nursing career at Piedmont hospital and only left recently due to a move accross the country. I have been so thankful over and over that I came from such a great start! The hospital has an excellent new grad program and though it isn't a "teaching" hospital, the nursing education department is incredibly strong and the hospital prides itself on its nursing excellence. I got a great foundation working there and I signed a financial contract to give back two years as well. The contract was treated confidentially, professionally, and I never had an ounce of regret. PM me with questions is you have them! Good luck with school and your decision!
