I'm looking into GSU vs kennesaw FNP. In just curious how the GSU program is so far .

Anyone?

Hi. I'm not a new grad but I am looking into moving to GA and I'm looking for information about Piedmont. I am an icu RN and will be hoping to get a job in the icu. Do any of y'all have any experience in the icu there or know of anyone who could give me an inside perspective? Thanks

I actually have not moved yet. I started to apply to those three hospitals then we had some family issues come up that prevented the move, so I'm on the look again. I actually just posted another thread about hospitals in atlanta. After thinking about it the past several months, I decided I want to be in a larger hospital than north fulton and northside Forsyth...northside atlanta may still be an option. I've also been told to look into piedmont, Emory, kennestone (sp?). Is like to keep the hospitals in the north side of downtown.

i am moving to north metro atlanta area (roswell, alpharetta area) and I'm looking for info on ICUs and hospitals. I am willing to commute to the north part of atlanta (northside, piedmont, others i may not be aware of). I have been in ICU my whole career (4 years) and want to stay in that field. Im coming from a level 2 trauma center, it was a teaching hospital that placed a lot of emphasis on education for RNs, MDs and RNs were very proactive with care, particularly my unit is very team oriented, very respectful of patients, took a lot of pride in their job and strove to provide best possible care for patients possible. Im not interested in community hospitals. I still consider myself a new nurse and am really interested in learning as much as can....and i want to learn how to take care of patients with the best information out there (using updated and thorough protocols and procedures). I'm also use to MDs being fairly collaborative with RNs, most of the hospitalists and intensivists treated the ICU RNs like colleagues and gave us a lot of autonomy in care so we didn't have to call them every 30 minutes for new orders. It really was a good unit, and I'm not sure i will be able to replicate it. Im looking for a hospital and unit that has an overall positive attitude and proactive culture. thanks for any insight.

i have 3 years ICU experience in an 18 bed med/surg/neuro unit in a level II trauam center and am moving back home to north metro atlanta area. i am interviewing at Northside Forsyth, Northside Atlanta and North Fulton. anyone have any experience at these hospitals/units? thanks.
