I believe the nurse-patient ratio on the floor is around 5:1, but I've seen it as bad as 7:1. It's in the older part of the hospital if I recall correctly, so the rooms are a little bit of a tight squeeze. I think the floor also does oncology patient...

futureRN2015, I was interviewing for CVICU and was told they were no longer accepting interviews after the group before me finished. I was pretty bummed and they offered for me to interview with MICU/SICU or neuro ICU. My first choice was MICU at tha...

I interviewed with critical care yesterday and was offered a position in the progressive care unit today. I turned it down, so hopefully one of you guys will be offered the spot!
I also have an interview there this week, so I'm not really sure about how much they pay! I know Rockdale typically pays nurses a little more, and they start new grads around $23. I've been involved at Newton for around 5 years and can tell you that ...
Newton Medical is a small community facility with only three floors and nothing too ground-breaking in terms of technology. 3 floors, typical units (med surg, tele, micu, pacu, er, etc.). That doesn't make it a bad hospital, though. The staff is wond...
No, they want to be an L&D nurse but are having trouble getting interviews for the specialty, so they branched out to med/surg. L&D apparently very rough competition with limited available slots from what I've heard from my cohort!

I've been told that Piedmont and Emory are the slowest in the Atlanta area to get their process rolling. Many of Piedmont's residency applications are still open, so I'm guessing it'll be several weeks before they start making calls. No one I know ha...
I suggest using ATI's RN Adult Medical Surgical Nursing Edition 9.0 review module book from the content mastery series. It gives you the bare-bones info for what you need to know in each med-surg topic along with a lot of NCLEX-style practice questio...

Hey there, I'm a senior at GBCN and pretty much everything meeep said is 100% accurate. My class started out around 140, but I believe we've dropped down to about 130 or so. The class before us was a bit smaller, but it still seems to stay around tha...
Just search for the "GBCN Class of 2016" group and request to be added. The cover photo of the group should be members of the senior class holding signs that spell out "GBCN" in black and orange. I believe we got our financial aid award letters in mi...
