Travel job offer in Valdosta. Any tips?

My girlfriend and I have been offered short term contracts at a hospital in Valdosta, GA. I think there are only two hospitals (South Georgia Medical Center & Smith Northview) in town and I'm sorry to say I don't know which one it is at. We can sign for 4-8 weeks with a 48 hour weekly work guarantee. Can anyone give me any information on either hospital? We are also wondering about how long does it take to receive a Georgia nursing license. Thanks much for any and all help.

It took me over 2 months to get my GA RN on a simple transfer from another state (with a complete application!). They say they issue a temporary RN but this did not happen with me and my hospital would not accept that anyhow, as it is something new evidently.

This would probably be your biggest worry.

Also last I looked, you have to do your fingerprinting in GA at specified locations- you can no longer mail in the cards...
