Hi,

I will try to help even though I am actually new to the area. I live in Norcross and wouldn't recommend you move there. I know that Cobb county is nice. As for hospitals, there is Emory Hospital (very good place to work from what I hear), Grady Memorial (the only Trauma 1 and Burn facility in the area - it is in the Metro area and so its very busy but you get great experience. Atlanta Medical center, Dekalb Medical Center, Northside Hospital, St. Joseph's Hospital and Peidmont Hospital. They all pay about the same. They start new grads out at about $23.00/hr. and a two dollar shift differential for nights. So you should get a little more. I am a new grad. It is hard for a new grad to get a job right now, but with two years experience you should not have a problem. I checked the local paper online (ajc.com) and there were 638 nursing job listed today.

As for getting a Georgia license, read this thread: https://allnurses.com/georgia-nurses/frustration-getting-ga-224458.html . A few people have had a hard time with it.
