Nashville Hospitals

I am from Nashville and when I worked agency as a tech, the nurses seemed happy at Vanderbilt Stallworth Hospital. It's across the street from the children's hospital. I was on a Neuro floor and the n-p ratio seemed ok and the nurse even had time to do rounds with me, so it didn't look too bad. The agency nurse there seemed to like it as well.

I am moving to nashville soon and am curious about this also... specifically the ED

I work at Centennial Medical Center and love it. It is a 600+ bed hospital and I work in the 32 bed MSICU. They also have a CVIVU and CCU. The ED nurses and floor nurses seem to like their job too. I haven't heard otherwise. Usually people are happy or you will definately hear about it.

Vandy all the way. It is a great place to work and lots of areas to choose from!!

Photonurse - any idea what new grad pay is currently at Vandy? I work in Memphis but hubby wants me to check out Nashville for when I graduate...he misses the city life over there (we live about halfway right now)

or loafin..also any idea what Centennial starts new grads? Pay has gone up in Memphis..not sure if it's gone up in Nashville or not.

$19-20/hr

Anyone know which hospitals in Nashville, TN are "travel nurse" friendly in critical care or if any of the hospitals even take travel nurses?

I have another Nashville question - anyone know if any of the hospitals offer a dorm room or discount hotel for staff nurses who live a distance? I have heard of some hospitals that have litlte dorm facilities for like $20 night. Would love to find that as we want to stay in our small town.
