Great! how did you like the residency? How's the hospital? I just accepted an residency position in the ED at Piedmont Atlanta.

How have you been liking it so far? Did you do a residency there? I just landed a RN residency in the ED there. I start at the end of July.

Great tip! If don't mind me asking. What hospital did you work PRN for? And what were their requirements? Did you find it difficult to juggle with your fulltime job?

I know for ED the base pay is $29 an hour. However, the other specialties I assume are a bit lower such as Med-surg. I would guess probably $26 or 27 an hour. Either way Piedmont pays very well for new grads out of all the other metro Atlanta hospita...

$29 is base pay. Night diff is 3.50 to 4.50 and weekends are 6.00 an hr! From what I hear Piedmont pays the most for new grads in the metro Atlanta area.

They also, asked about how my prior experience as a PCT will help me as a nurse, what is the most difficult part of your job, describe a time you went above and beyond for a patient, and tell us about a time you used leadership skills. I think they a...

Your very welcome! And thank you JmhATL,BSN! I'm more than happy to give you all an update and wish you all much success in your future endeavors! Feel free to ask me any more questions if you have any and I'll do the same. :)

Hey! For my interview they asked all behavioral questions. Such as why the ED, tell me about a time you had a difficult patient, and etc. However, I have heard that for some interviews they ask clinical scenario questions. Such as how would you handl...

How is it so far? I just accepted a position for the RN residency in the ED at Piedmont Atlanta! I start July 31st.

Hi everyone! I just accepted a RN residency position in the ED at Piedmont Atlanta! I'm super stoked!! I wanted to know if anyone on this panel has received an offer for any other unit at Piedmont??

Their is no required book that you need for Transitions in nursing. For Fundamentals the book is Fundamentals of Nursing 8th Edition and the Author is Potter & Perry. For Health Assessment the title is Health & Physical Assessment in Nursing ...

I'm also taking fundamentals and health assessment in January. I will let you know how it goes :)

That' awesome! If you have anymore questions feel free to ask :)

Hey aero1! I started school at chamberlain in September 2014, so I am currently in my second session here. I truly like it so far. It is a fairly new school that has grown a lot over the past few years, but in all I do like it. All the staff seem to ...

Hi SPJJ Mommy! My ultimate goal is to become an NP. I'm currently in the BSN program at Chamberlain now, but I'm wondering do you think I should just for straight for my NP degree or should I work as a nurse for a few years before applying? Also, how...

Hi Capricorn! The transition into nursing class wasn't bad at all. There are no exams it's mostly just discussion and a final project that you will have to present at the end of the session. Overall, this should be your easy A class. Now, for the hea...

Hey! The prerequisites for the program can be found on chamberlain.edu. They are usually the same as any other nursing program though. So, that includes classes like AP I & 2, psychology, english, algebra, statistics, and etc. I just started the ...

In terms of if it is better to take online classes vs on site I think it just really depends on how you learn best. I was the type of person to always take classes on site, but since I started the program some of the classes must be taken online. So,...

Hey chriscioloca! In terms of classroom sizes here at the Atlanta campus it averages from about 15 to 32 students in each classroom. It depends on what class it is though. The tuition price is very steep! If you are coming in with no prior credits tu...

Hey Capricorn! You have a lot of questions and they are all good ones. I'm not sure of when the deadline is to apply. However, I would recommend going online to chamberlain.edu and it should let you know when the deadline is. I believe they enroll st...

Yup I'm taking those exact same classes.

Hey everyone! I would like to know have any of you ever applied for the Nightingale Scholarship at Chamberlain?

@Mspsychology that's good I wish you the best of luck in your studies. If you ever have questions about the admission process or anything feel free to ask.

@Mspsychology I plan on attending this fall semester which begins Sept. 1st. Do you plan on applying to Chamberlain? I didn't apply to any other schools, but I did think of applying to Brenau and GGC. However, I didn't end up applying there, because ...
