  1. Rockdale Medical Center, Conyers Hospital, Lifepoint Facility

    bravera replied to transducen's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I believe the nurse-patient ratio on the floor is around 5:1, but I've seen it as bad as 7:1. It's in the older part of the hospital if I recall correctly, so the rooms are a little bit of a tight...

    bravera replied to babynurse101's topic in Georgia Nursing

    futureRN2015, I was interviewing for CVICU and was told they were no longer accepting interviews after the group before me finished. I was pretty bummed and they offered for me to interview with...

  4. Newton Medical Center

    bravera replied to mshessle's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I also have an interview there this week, so I'm not really sure about how much they pay! I know Rockdale typically pays nurses a little more, and they start new grads around $23. I've been involved...

  5. Newton Medical Center

    bravera replied to mshessle's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Newton Medical is a small community facility with only three floors and nothing too ground-breaking in terms of technology. 3 floors, typical units (med surg, tele, micu, pacu, er, etc.). That doesn't...

  9. Piedmont Hospital RN Residency

    bravera replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    No, they want to be an L&D nurse but are having trouble getting interviews for the specialty, so they branched out to med/surg. L&D apparently very rough competition with limited available...

  10. Piedmont Hospital RN Residency

    bravera replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Was it for Atlanta? They have multiple campuses so it could have been for Fayetteville. A friend of mine just interviewed at ATL for Med Surg today so the ball is starting to

  11. Piedmont Hospital RN Residency

    bravera replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I've been told that Piedmont and Emory are the slowest in the Atlanta area to get their process rolling. Many of Piedmont's residency applications are still open, so I'm guessing it'll be several...

  12. Med Surg. Help!

    bravera replied to cafegurl's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I suggest using ATI's RN Adult Medical Surgical Nursing Edition 9.0 review module book from the content mastery series. It gives you the bare-bones info for what you need to know in each med-surg...

    bravera replied to Mspsychology's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hey there, I'm a senior at GBCN and pretty much everything meeep said is 100% accurate. My class started out around 140, but I believe we've dropped down to about 130 or so. The class before us was a...

  17. transfer to Georgia State Nursing Program

    bravera replied to Leslie9902's topic in Georgia Nursing

    State will not take your nursing courses and you will have to restart within the program. I'm fairly sure this hasn't changed since I was there a year ago. So, yes, you can transfer, but you will have...

    bravera replied to smontg17's topic in Georgia Nursing

    bravera replied to smontg17's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Professor Kamp will either give you information at orientation or during the first week of classes about nurse packs, since she's dependent on the company that ships them. And yes, the other...
