AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center - Atlantic City

Do any nurses in this forum work at the AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City? It is a magnet hospital.
How was orientation and preceptorships?
Are they supportive of new nursing grads?
What are salaries like in Atlantic City?

i dont work at acmc, but i know a couple of people from my school that are working there. it really is a good hospital, and they do all that they can to prepare new nurses. my friend loves it there (shes at the city campus). i forget how long the preceptorship is for, i think 12 weeks, and in addition to that, they have classes in which gns meet up to discuss their experiences. the starting wage is 25/hr for gns. im not sure if they are still hiring gns though. from what i heard, they have already selected all the gns for this year. hope this helps!

My mother has been a nurse there for probably 20 years or more. I also work there part time as a tech (we are both pool at both divisions). I absolutely love the nurses, haven't met many at all who I didn't think were bright, hardworking, friendly, and caring. I know my mom makes a lot of money, but she's also pool/has tons of skills/and has been there a long time. They really have a lot of opportunities/great benefits for the staff. The hospital is really on top of its' game, can't say enough nice things about it. I'd love to be a nurse there when I get my RN.
