Thankyou for the info. I will definitely keep that in mind

No I haven't. I'm just starting the licensure process. I have to find a job first before I pick up and move my family!!!

I have 2 kids so great school districts are my top priority. I was looking more outside of the perimeter because I hear the public schools in Atlanta are pretty terrible, and the housing is more affordable. I don't know much about the areas. I'm hoping to get a better feel over my next few visits. Thank you for the advice. It was helpful.

Hello my fellow nurses. I am flying up to Atlanta this weekend to do a little research on some areas for our potential relocation. We are looking at Acworth, Kennesaw, Cummings, Johns Creek, Buford, Suwannee areas. I have been doing some research on some of the hospitals and am hoping to end up at one of the CHOA campuses, Northside hospital campus, or Wellstar facility. If anyone has any information on any of these areas or hospitals please advise. Pay, commute, and overall job satisfaction would be very helpful. I'll have 2 years of peds ER nursing experience and halfway through my BSN program by the time we move. Thank you all in advance

Thank you so much for the info. That gives me a lot of comfort hearing this. Where did you accept a position and how is it going so far?

Are BSNs required for hire by most hospitals in the Atlanta area? What if your enrolled in an RN-BSN program, does that better your chances of getting hired?

Thankyou for the info. I am starting WGU in July. So hopefully that will help get me hired. No desire to go into management.

Do they hire ADN nurses?

So all the websites say ADN required but BSN preferred. Are there any ADN grads having problems finding jobs in the Atlanta area?

Is anyone able to tell me what the avg pay for RN with 1-2 years experience? We are looking to move end of this year or summer next year. I am hoping to be done or close to done with my RN-BSN program by then. I am also looking for pediatrics. I am currently in ER right now and would prefer to stay there but I am not opposed to going into other areas. Just as long as its in peds. Can anyone recommend any hospitals that has pediatrics? If so, hows the pay/hiring process/ more importantly the morale of the hospital? Thank you all in advance

Thankyou. Do you know what hospitals have peds? I'm hoping to stay with that population.

Can anyone tell me if Atlanta area hospitals are hiring BSN only. Does it help if you are enrolled into a BSN program? My hubby and I have decided on Atlanta for out next and final move. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

That does suck. Im not surprised though. Baton Rouge nurse pay seems to be pretty low compared to other areas in southern Louisiana. I'm curious about the other hospitals pay in that area. Oh and thank you both for your responses

í ½í¸³ oh wow. I was expecting higher than that. Are all the hospitals in that area paying that low?

is anyone familiar with the payscale at the lake for a nurse with 2 years experience?
