U.S.A. Georgia

Published

Hi all, I am new to allnurses and really appreciate the amount of information and experience on this site. I will be graduating this May and moving to the Atlanta area. I have read previous posting and got some really good information about hospitals in the area.(thanks....:up:)

I am trying to get ALL the information I can as to jobs I should or could apply for. Beside applying to hospitals it there other areas (ie. clinics, healthcare agencies etc.) that I can or should apply too as a new grad and how do I find out more information about it. Also, what is the pay rate? Does it depend on your degree? I would appreciate ANY and ALL information given........:specs: thanks again....

I don't live in the ATL area but I am relocating there myself in June. I have been looking at the area hospitals websites along with www.ajc.com which is their online newspaper. You can upload your resume to most of the hospital sites and the job search websites also. I have found many interesting RN jobs posted there. I went to www.careerbuilders.com also and searched for ATL RN jobs there also. I also gaied some info from www.city-data.com. A few of the hospitals offer relocation assistance but it isn't much. I'm still trying to find the average starting salary myself. I know that Emory Hospital offered me $23/hr as a LPN in 2005 but I was a LPN since 1991 so I was based higher. I have submitted my resume and cover letter to Emory already for RN positions. BTW I became a RN last year..so I don't have much experience as a RN but I'm selling my years of being a LPN. I gained alot of info from this website also. I also just do random internet searches for ATL nursing jobs and see what comes up. If you find anything interesting let me know and I wil try to do the same. I wish I could help more but I'm still searching for info myself.
