Hey,

I don't know much about the acuity level of patients in the ER, but I do know that CHOA is affiliated with Emory, and Emory doesn't actually have it's own peds units. I would guess that most of Emory's peds emergencies would go to CHOA--but I'm not sure. I wanted to tell you that I have heard outstanding things about CHOA from people in the area, and from nurses who work there. Apparently, it's a great place to work. Good luck in your search!

Hey,

Well yes, that is true that you make around $22 an hour (or a little less). But you have to remember that the cost of living in New York is MUCH higher than in Atlanta. I hear that the salary is more in the 30's in New York, but for a big city, the cost of living in ATL is pretty good. If you go to nursingnetwork.com, I think they have a salary/cost of living calculator that will give you a better idea of how comparable your current salary to your future salary would be if you moved. Supposedly, Georgia is one of the better states in salary compared to cost of living. Hope this helps!
