1. Would you give birth at the hospital where you work?

   HippyRN replied to luv4nursing's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I'm due in Oct but am not deliverying at my hospital. I work in a place that boasts the largest # of deliveries in the country so it's highly regarded in the area but is very intervention-driven. Good for a high-risk pregnancy but a bit overkill for ...

2. Relocating to GA after Graduation

   HippyRN replied to Triple A's's topic in Georgia

   I work @ Northside and they offer up to $2000 relocation assistance. I moved from DC and got the full amount. They are pretty compatible pay rate-wise around here and offer internships for new grads.

3. Difficulty getting new grad RN job?

   HippyRN replied to dmarie (GA)'s topic in Georgia

   I just moved to the area so I can't speak for all Atlanta hospitals but I work at Northside and it seems that they aren't hiring LPNs much anymore. However for RNs it seems like there's tons of opportunities.

   HippyRN replied to Triple A's's topic in Georgia

   I work Mother-Baby at Northside Hospital. I started my orientation in August and just finished about a month ago. They have a great orientation program! And what the other poster said is true. We are very short staffed and they have great incentives ...

   Hi, I just relocated here from VA in August after I graduated this past May. It was a little challenging to get my foot in the door at the HR depts but once I interviewed, I had my choice of jobs. What are of nursing are you interested in? Jenni

   HippyRN replied to blitzgirl's topic in Georgia

   Uniform City (http://www.uniformcity.com) in Tucker is great! It just opened up and is off of LaVista Drive, in the same plaza as the Ballys Total Fitness. I got several tops for $9.99 and bottoms for $7.99! And a good selection of petites which I fi...

   Chloe, I love it at Northside so far! Everyone is so great and the nurses are so helpful. That's strange. I haven't looked at the website since I was applying several months ago but I know that they were interviewing for Mother-Baby Internships the ...

   No, I payed for the flights myself. However, the hospital that I was hired at (Northside) is giving relocation reimbursement.

   HippyRN replied to philanurse2b's topic in Georgia

   I had one phone interview for a hospital and then flew down for a 2nd interview with them. The other interviews were all in person (had to fly down each time!). The only experience I had before being an RN is working as a tech and an extern while in ...

    HippyRN replied to pedi-RN's topic in New Nurse

    Hi, I'm Jenni, graduated from an ADN program in May and passed my boards with 75 questions on June 19! Nursing is much different than my first degree - I also have a BA in Graphic Design. I'm sure that I will love this new profession. I am starting ...

    HippyRN replied to philanurse2b's topic in Georgia

    I'm moving from the DC area and am a new grad. I've had several job interviews and a couple job offers so I haven't found it too difficult to find an RN job in Atlanta. It may not be your perfect job but you can always transfer later on. I know of on...

    HippyRN replied to LauraMT's topic in NCLEX

    LauraMT, I'm scheduled for my exam June 19th so I'm feeling the pressure now, too. Up until now I've been pretty confident and have studied but not obsessively so. Now that it's getting close, I'm starting to doubt myself and hope that I've prepared ...
