HI,

I AM LOOKING TO MOVE IN THE FALL, I SPOKE TO A NURSE RECRUITER ABOUT A POSSIBLE EMPLOYMENT THERE, BUT THEY ONLY TELL U NICE THINGS. HOW IS WORKING THERE? DO THEY HELP PAY FOR UNIVERSITY IF YOU WANT TO FURTHER YOUR CARRER? DO THEY CHART ON COMPUTERS?

I don't work there, but I know that Emory is a very well-known, highly-regarded hospital in Georgia. One of the best, if not THE best in Georgia. I'm positive they chart on computers and I'm sure they offer tuition assistance. Good luck!

I work at Emory. It's great. They offer tuition assistance of at least 80% but you have to be there for at least 6 months first. We do chart on computers and move our little wows (workstation on wheels) around. I've been there almost a year and so far it's been a great place to wok!

Gerry I am very happy that you asked this question because I have been wondering the same thing as I have been looking at Emory Crawford Long Hospital for quite a time now. I wish someone that work in ICU come on here and give some insight.

I wonder how their salary varies with the rest of the hospitals in Atlanta?

All the hospitals in Atlanta have similar pay. At least for new grads because I checked almost all of them out.

Yes. I had several friends from school who went straight to L&D.

You will find most hospitals here start new grads between $20-22 base before diffs. I hear that Emory is one of the lower paying but they make up for it in benes. I've heard they start their new grads between $18-19. Not sure bout the parking situation either. You may pay for it. You may not. EUH is on campus so it's beautiful. But ECLH is a dangerous n'hood.

I did clinicals both at EUH and Crawford, and as a student nurse, it was great. I didn't see very many happy nurses in EUH, but maternity nurses at Crawford were always happy. Perhaps this is the diff between medsurg and maternity?

On the other end, my family had to be pts at EUH, and they marveled at the care they received and said it was a fantastic place to be a pt.

I guess it's a try it you might like it scenario?

Hey there - Chloe is a bit off. I started at Emory in August of 06 and THEN they were starting new grads at $21.20. The pay at all metro atlanta hospitals is about the same for new grads. When I was interviewing back then Piedmont was $20.99 and St. Joes was $21.35.

You do have to pay for parking (deducted thru your paycheck) at CLH and Emory. I guess it's a matter of opinion and what you're used to but CL is not a dangerous area, it's in Midtown. Good luck!
