Atlanta Winter/Spring 2020 nurse residency

Published

Hey guys, so far Emory, Wellstar, and CHOA have opened there winter/spring 2020 applications... waiting on Piedmont and Emory

I applied this weekend, now waiting for an email back, have anybody else applied? ?

Yes for Medsurg it’s 27$ for ASN new grads I believe that’s one of the highest in Atlanta for new grads. Also Northside is 25$ for ASN Medsurg. Some hospitals will give more for specialty some don’t, they just keep a set rate for New Grads. What hospital and department do you have an interview with?

Well, I have a phone interview scheduled for next week. I chose critical care, cardiac and ED as my top 3; however after speaking with you and reading others comments in regards to the ICU/ED interview, I’ve come to the conclusion that I may not be prepared for a critical care interview. Idk the type of questions they’re going to ask and critical care was covered briefly at my nursing school. I don’t know if other schools offered more in depth content of critical care but I know with mine, critical care was not covered as much as med-surg. So I swapped out ED for med-surg on my app and kept critical care. I still want to speak with an ICU manager if given the opportunity. Lol?

@tikiplum21 So u may have ur interview with **** next week on the phone. If it’s with her, She will ask u why Piedmont, what made you become a nurse and what are your plans after school, and a couple other basic questions like if you did a preceptorship or not. At piedmont though they actually only will give u an opportunity to have an ICU or ED interview if u have done a preceptorship in your last semester. Bc they want to make sure u know ur stuff which is why the interview is very in depth bc they feel as though if u have done a preceptorship then u should know meds, drip, vents, suction, priority, etc. We have been covering only EC and ICU this entire semester. I love it which we would have done this every medsurg class. I don’t want to discourage u but it doesn’t seem like u have much of a foundation about ICU so if u are going to do an interview at any ICU Or even speak with the ICU manager look up YouTube videos on clinical interview questions for ICU that’s what I did when I was planning to go. If u google it not much will come up. Some questions that they asked me at another hospital for ICU was what med do u give for chest pain, name and describe a machine on the ICU and explain what it does, what would you do if a patient has sepsis, etc I have them written down somewhere and I’ll look for them tomorrow and reply what the questions were if u want.

Thank you so much for that info!! I looked up clinical interview questions for an icu position on google too and had no luck. I’m definitely going to look up YouTube videos. And yes, I would love it if you shared those questions. You’re awesome!

Hey, does anyone from Piedmont know what a “stack differential” is? I know that from 7a-3p, there is no differential just base of 25.50. However from 3p-11p, the differential is 3.50 and from 11p-7a the differential is 4.50.

So is the stack differential . . .

7a-3p = 25.50

3p-11p = 25.50+3.50= 29.00

11p-7a = 25.50+4.50= 30.00

OR

7a-3p = 25.50

+ 3.50

3p-11p= 29.00

+ 4.50

11p-7a= 33.50

I don’t remember the exact times the shift change, but for me they told me $27.50 base pay for day shift (I think till 5) then, $3.00, then $4.00 extra for night shift 7pm-7am then $3.00 extra on the weekend stacked to that ...

Hey @Carkitty ADN Thanks for your response. Which location and what type of floor are you on? I’m at Piedmont. My recruiter told me that 25.50 is the base for a residency rn.

I will be at Piedmont Henry in the L&D unit, how about you?

I think pay varies, I got offered 27.50 base while my peer got offered $29.50 bc she had some experience.

Specializes in NICU.

Hey. I was informed at my interview for Spring Residency base was $27.50. Did it change?

@NICUNurseToBe From what I’ve read so far on this post, it seems like your base depends on the unit you’re on.

@Carkitty ADN I’m on a med-surge cardiac floor.
