Atlanta hiring new grads

U.S.A. Georgia

Published

So I am in Nursing school in Maryland right now and I would LOVE to move to Atlanta for a job. I'm at University of Maryland, Baltimore's BSN program and I graduate next Dec. 2011.

Why is it in Atlanta does it seem that al the hospitals are requiring a TWO year signing contract? What happens if you have to break the contract?

Do you have to do a residency program to get hired as a new nurse in Atlanta?????

Hospitals I looked at were:

Emory Midtown

Grady Hospital

Piedmont Hospital

Northside Hospital

Am I reading something wrong?

In Baltimore, they only make you sign a 2 year contract if you are getting MONEY for paying off your loans. I don't owe any money for school since I got everything in scholarships... Is Atlanta just different in how they recruit/ sign new grads?????

no. i went to one of the best in the USA and no one in Atlanta wants to hire me 'cos I'm a yankee and I'm used to better pay. i'm having to travel nurse to make ends meet. I've been a nurse for 4 years. My advice? Cleveland Clinic takes new grads and is a great place to train. low cost of living. lots to do.

Please advise where you are working now since this thread is old.
