I worked at Dekalb as a new grad. Like previous posters states, it can be a challenge sometimes but we had the best teamwork and the staff was culturally diverse ( which I like). I don't regret it at all. I use to work with someone from s. Fulton an...

I work at Cobb Hospital. I have no complaints even though i am working as a tech during school. The nurses have only complained about staffing, which is fairly common in any hospital.

I guess my biggest piece of advice is to form a study group ASAP. It may not be ideal for some, but it def. helps to stay on point. Also, i would speak to my advisor at the first sign of struggling with any courses. I dont know if you can "prepare" f...
