    rollie replied to stillbetteryet's topic in Georgia Nursing

    rollie replied to gerryNYC's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I work at Emory. It's great. They offer tuition assistance of at least 80% but you have to be there for at least 6 months first. We do chart on computers and move our little wows (workstation on...

    Nurse - pt. ratio depends on the shift and the hospital. I work at Emory on a step down unit from the icu, i'ts an ltac unit and we are 3:1 days and 4-5:1 at night. I think if you work on a normal...

    rollie replied to 2bnurseguy_2005's topic in Georgia Nursing

  11. Looking for a job in the Atlanta area?

    rollie replied to SharonH, RN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    For whoever asked about nursing schools in atl - don't go to Ga Perimeter. Very high failure rate and near impossible program. I would splurge and got to Emory. More prestigious

    rollie replied to nursinginga's topic in Georgia Nursing

  16. Georgia Perimeter College

    rollie replied to nursinginga's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I graduated from GPC in May of this year. It was the worst 2 years of my life and I would strongly suggest getting out now while you don't have too much time invested. It's better than getting to the...
