HI,

I AM LOOKING TO MOVE IN THE FALL, I SPOKE TO A NURSE RECRUITER ABOUT A POSSIBLE EMPLOYMENT THERE, BUT THEY ONLY TELL U NICE THINGS. HOW IS WORKING THERE? DO THEY HELP PAY FOR UNIVERSITY IF YOU WANT TO FURTHER YOUR CARRER? DO THEY CHART ON COMPUTERS?

I just love CLH.. I am getting to go to do my clinical for advanced med/surg on unit 51 and i am truly hoping to do my leadership there as well. thanks for the input!!

Do any of the Emory Hospitals have an acute psych unit? Not the boring gero-psych but regular adult-psych?

Hey there - Chloe is a bit off. I started at Emory in August of 06 and THEN they were starting new grads at $21.20. The pay at all metro atlanta hospitals is about the same for new grads. When I was interviewing back then Piedmont was $20.99 and St. Joes was $21.35.

You do have to pay for parking (deducted thru your paycheck) at CLH and Emory. I guess it's a matter of opinion and what you're used to but CL is not a dangerous area, it's in Midtown. Good luck!

As I wrote in my earlier post, pay is between $20-22 and you may have to pay for parking. Not sure where I am "a bit off"

P.S. AFter living here for 10 years, I can say w/ certain knowledge that Emory Crawford Long is considered downtown. It's just off the highway, and although the Fox Theatre is nearby as well as some terrific eateries, it's still a questionable area and when I did my clinicals there, we had to park in a creepy dark unpatrolled lot surrounded by barbed wire and cut across highways just to enter the building.

Not an area I'd like to be sauntering around in after dark. But hey, to each his/her own.

It's still a fantastic facility to learn in!

The geri-psych at Emory gets pretty interesting. There is a cognitive and acute inpatient unit at Wesley Woods. There is also an acute psych unit at the institute for rehabilitation medicine. I think there are a couple of other non acute units scattered around.

Chloe - The "bit off" refers to you stating Emory started new grads at $18-$19.
