Northside Hospital in Atlanta, GA

Yeah!! I found someone interested in Northside Hospital also. I will be moving to ATL in two weeks and I am trying to find the travel agency that Northside works with since Medstaff isn't one of them. I have met one lady that use to work there and she said that it was wonderful. She was a full-time nurse so I don't know if that will make a difference. I had so many questions that were burning me up one night at work, so I called up the unit and spoke with a nurse who seemed very happy to work there. Also one big positive that I found is that the Marta system stops right accross the street from the hospital which seems good since everyone complains about the traffic. If you take an assignment please let me know how it turns out. Good Luck!!

I have a friend that started with a short "local traveller" contract and ended up working there 18 months because she loved it so much! She said it was an awesome place to get experience and training. She also said that the word out was that if you trained in Northside's ICUs then you were prime for the picking at any of the other hospitals because of Northside's reputation for excellent training. Plus, Atlanta is a great town to live in with many things to do and see. I do not live there, personally, but do have friends who have lived there and they loved it.

Hey I lived in ATL for over 10 years and my nephew along with probably every other baby in atl was born there. Northside is a great hospital in a great area to live in. The walls have gold crown molding! I don't know who said they'd rather work at Grady than Northside, they're nuts! Grady is a county hospital in the middle of the ghetto. You have better resources and are better staffed at Northside rather than Grady. I used to work at Children's Healthcare of ATL which is near Northside.

Sorry can't help with Northside but would love to share one of the best hospitals I have had the pleasure to be in thats Southern Regional.... the staff is awesome not only do they care they are professional....would recommend this hospital to any travelers
