Hi everyone,

I included myself in this thread a while back. I didn't realize that I was still getting notifications lol. I'm a nurse resident here at Grady Hospital. I've only been in Georgia for two months. Just wanted to say good luck to you all! The hiring process is a long one, I've definitely been there but it is well worth it! Congratulations to you all!

@RNBSN 2018

Thank you! I work on the Mother/Baby, Antepartum and nursery unit but I'll be transferring to the ER in August.

The first t1-2 weeks is just Corporate/HR orientation stuff. Some of the meetings are catered ? After that you're assigned an educator depending on which unit you're hired for. Here's what I wrote to @nursenemo123

"They have mandatory classes and rotations that you're required to attend in addition to you being on the floor. Not to mention online trainings (kind've like homework) that you have to complete by certain dates. All in all it's a great program, they definitely spoon feed you for the first couple of months so it's not as intimidating as most first nursing jobs. I'm learning so much. Just be prepared to having very little free time! Oh and just a heads up residents aren't allowed to work holidays and overtime until after about 3 months lol"

The hiring process is EXTREMELY long but be patient! If you were shortlisted or got an acceptance letter then you're good to go! It took about 2-3 months for them to finalize my hire.

@NurseHan @RNBSN 2018

I'm from Florida and the moving process was sooooo stressful! It took a couple of trips and numerous phone calls to find something that fit my budget and was decent. Apartments by the hospital are pretty pricey so I chose to stay away from Downtown Atlanta. I live near Stone Mountain at East Perimeter Point apartments. I totally recommend that you look into it. They reviews might be questionable (like most apartments here) but it's all subjective. It's a beautiful gated apartment complex and the cost is reasonable. And if you tell them that you work at Grady, they'll waive your application fee ? My only complaint is that they never answer the phone. Let me know f you guys have any other questions regarding apartment hunting. I've definitely done the research so feel free to ask. Best of luck! ?

Thank you so much for the info! Since you're on 3 units, how did orientation on the floor work? Is that somthing that all the residents who got mother/baby get to do? Did you have separate preceptors for each floor? That's a huge jump from mother/baby to ER! Thanks, again!
