looking to relocate

Published

I am looking to relocate to the Athens area from NC. I have gotten the info for applying for a Ga. license but had some questions: Are there any cont ed requirements? Does the state of Ga. hire nurses in all types of environments..ie home health, college health? Is there a good one stop place to go to reveiw all available jobs in that area. I found a spot on the internet but not sure if these are actually state supported postions. ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

Georgia does not require CEUs. As far as nursing jobs I am not sure. I moved here in April, butI had a job waiting for me. I knew a few people and they sent me add form Augusta. I am currently working at a Rehab Hospital and love it.

Let me know if I can help any. :)

Tinbird,

You can research jobs in the local paper, The Athens Banner Herald. I think their website is http://www.onlineathens.com. There are 2 major hospitals here: Athens Regional and St. Mary's. The Athens Regional website is http://www.armc.org. You can search the jobs on the website. I can't remember the web address for St. Mary's Healthcare System, but you could just do a search.

Athens is a great town - I love it! There's nowhere else I'd rather live. Welcome.

I friend of mine just moved to the Monroe area and is working at St. Mary's. She loves it there and she felt it was a nicer place to work than Athens General. Same sentiment from another friend who started working at Athens General and found she didn't care for it. Just passing along friend's opinions. Welcome to GA. You should love living in Athens.
