Hi! I'm in the beginning of my search for employment in Georgia. The plan is to move there at the beginning of summer, end of May 2011. Braselton will be my home, but I know that Gainesville is near and has Northeast Georgia there. Does anyone on AllNurses work there or know of someone who does that can give me direction on getting my foot in the door and hopefully getting an interview? Am looking for a future promise of hire, and would like to connect with their recruiter. (I need the job promise ahead of time for a legal edge on my child custody petition for relocation, I'm a single Mom to a 9yr old son). Is Northeast a good hospital to work for? Employees treated well, benefits good? Nurse/Patient ratio reputation? Also, how much can I expect to be offered with 5 yrs clinical experience? I'm a older nurse ('50s), that has come back to work recently after many, many years of being at home raising kids. Would also like to know of other health, medical facilities in that area that I can look up specifically and consider for possibilities of resumes and introduction on my next trip up there. My experience has been Hematology/Oncology, and Med/Surg, although would love to get into Mother/Baby and/or another specialty clinical area of the hospital such as Cath Lab or GI. Ultimately, I'd like to work with a Family Practice that focuses on prevention and is pro-active with alternative practices also. Right now though, I just need to get myself a job to facilitate the move and would think that the hospital would be more apt to have an opening and pay that I need. Outpatient clinic would be great too! . Thanks for all who reach out to help!

I am also interested in knowing about West Palm Beach, particularly JFK Hospital. It has been a year and I have been trying to get a travel job in Florida, focusing on Panama City, but so far no bites. Don't know if it is my recruiter or just a God-send that I haven't gone there yet. Is it still a nightmare working for HCA hospitals as I read in some 2007 posts?? I really would like to know what is a better travel local, company to work for in Florida. Am about to give and just apply locally somewhere as I am wanting a move closer to my mother and still have children in the package to consider needs of for stability and a bit of me left over after work! Thanks for any feedback anyone may have.... ~shawn in NC
