Looking for info from any RN's working at University Medical in Savannah, GA

Hi and thank you for reading this post. I have an interview with University Medical and am considering moving from MA to GA if I am offered a position.

The position I applied for is for a nurse residency program on a Med Surg or OR rotation. With the sign on bonus I would be required to fulfill a 4 year commitment.

Being a new graduate with a diploma in nursing I feel that it would be a great opportunity, whereas if I stay where I am in MA now I may end up in a nursing home to start.

I do have a husband and 7 year old son to think about too.

If anyone can tell me about the hospital, the nurse:patient ratio, how they feel it would be for a new grad, and the starting pay it would be greatly appreciated!

Also it looks like Richmond Hill would be the best place to relocate with a school age child, so if someone could offer their opinion about housing, schools, etc it would be a great help!

thank you!

You may also consider Rincon as a place to live. My family and I lived there about 7 years ago and loved it. Schools were great!

Hello! I applied and was hired for their oncology floor! Did you receive a job position there? I just graduated in December 2013, then we moved to Savannah at the end of March 2014.

Pixi.RN Hello, my name is Brittany. My family just moved to Savannah, Georgia. I noticed that you work at Memorial Hospital in Savannah. Do you have any tips for their residency program? Little bit of background..... I'm finishing school in NC but I plan to move back with hubby and kids after graduation next year.
