Piedmont Healthcare New Grad Residency 2013

tallchica54 · Jul 8, 2013

I came from Milwaukee and cost of living here is definitely less than up North. I love in Sandy Springs area and found a much nicer and bigger apartment than the one I had in Milwaukee. I moved here with my boyfriend for his job and it was scary moving because I just have him down here. Both those areas are good, Buckhead is wherr Piedmont is so that probably would be better.

There is also a complex in Sandy Springs, wasn't sure if that was too far or not (I heard Atlanta traffic can be awful!). I'm going to try and take a look at all 3 complexes when I head down next week :) I would most likely be moving with my boyfriend as well..if he can find something..or ideally transfer his job which is what I am hoping!

Tallchica54- I got your PM..I havent posted enough to answer you though! But the my apartment complex is a different company than the one you mentioned. I will definately check the one out in sandysprings though, I thought it was a little further than you mentioned, but if it is within 20 minutes that works! I will be in Atlanta the 17th and 18th and it is going to be a very busy 2 days what with the interview and looking at apartments and exploring!

Almost at my 15 posts so I can start PMing lol. I just wanted to say good luck again tomorrow, and I would love to hear how it went if you don't mind sharing! I'm sure you will do great! :)

Thanks! I will definitely let you know. I am hoping this interview is to make sure we are a good fit for the team! :)

Id like to think so! HR assured me they were only interviewing a handful! And considering it is set to start Aug 19th I'm assuming we will hear back soon after we interview!

I interviewed on June 27th and it went really well...the manger of the Oncology Unit told me after that she already told the panel she wanted me for her unit! She then took me on a tour of the unit, introduced me to everyone who was there and even looked up the pay scales for me! it's been almost 2 weeks and I haven't heard anything formal yet so I'm sort of nervous. What was the time line like for those of you who got job offers already? I'm going to call the recruiter who set up my interview this Thurs (exactly 2 weeks after my interview) I'm hoping the lag is due to the holiday being last week and that I get a formal offer soon!

The math test is freakishly easy! Don't sweat it at all!

Thats good to know, thanks! Im good at math but I graduated over a year ago and it is not very fresh in my mind haha I remember calculations its just been awhile! I hope you get an official offer! Sounds like it went very well!

Sremery I am sure you get an offer soon. The manager wouldn't spent any time taking you on a tour unless she planned on hiring you :) Good to know the math exam was easy, thank you!

Tallchica good luck on your interview. Pls. can you let us know how the process was? Also, I've been looking at some apartments complexes online, but have no idea about what neighborhoods are in close proximity to the hospital or which ones are considered safe. Pls. if you have any suggestions let me know! Iv'e only looked in Buckhead neighborhood so far. Im looking for a safe, not so pricy neighborhood close to the hospital. I will leave back to CA the same day I fly in, so I have no time driving around looking at places.

Oh and Sremery, what was the base pay for the oncology program? Does anyone know the base pay?

Interview went well. It was with about 7 of the OR mangers and educators. Very informal interview. The program sounds great and I really hope I get a spot. They said they would contact me soon after interviews were done.
