Anyone work at GRADY MEMORIAL in Atlanta?

Published

Does anyone work at GRADY MEMORIAL? I am moving to Atlanta the end of next year and am hoping to get a job at Grady because I know the learning there is priceless. I have been doing research about the hospital and realize the past 10-13 years have been difficult and they are undergoing some serious changes. I was wondering what it is like to work there and if any change is noticeable yet. I will be looking for RN work in the ICU or their awesome trauma/ER with only about 1 year experience in med-surg. Any information anyone is willing to offer up would be appreciated. Thanks

Ashfost - I replied to your private message on a thread you had posted a while back. Since I am a new user I am unable to send private messages. Yes Grady is hiring. Read my reply, it will tell you the best way to get hired.

I am a new grad may 2010 and just got hired. Given I was an intern and external there but there were others new grads hired too who didn't work there in any way earlier. My best suggestion is apply for the job online wait a week and then call or go in and speak to the manager of that department. Best of luck hope to see you there

I volunteer in the ER at Grady. I am done with nursing school in May, then I might work in the ER.

Ashfost,

Congrats, I hope your as excited as I am. I'm in SICU, how about you? I'm willing to bet we've been sitting in training together, It's so much how could we not be. It's great though to get paid to learn, I couldn't ask for anything more.

Ashfost,

Awesome I'm going to do ER sometime in the future, just wanted to get settled in first, I have enough excitement in SI for now. I'm on days for orientation then nights when I'm done orienting sometime in nov/dec. Good luck with everything and watch your back in the red zone.

Hi - I'm currently in nursing school and have applied to volunteer at Grady. Can you share what you do as a volunteer in the ER? I was actually hoping to do some volunteering in their surgical services area, but I didn't see that as an option, so I chose ER as my first choice. Thanks for any information!

Does Grady hire out-of-state new grads? :) I'd love to work there!

When I called the recruiter she said you have to have your GA license just to apply there. So you can't even apply for a job unless you are licensed in GA.
