Trying to decide between New Hanover Med and Brunswick Community Hospital...

[RNratched]

please help me! i need information from anyone who works or have worked at these hospitals. how are they staffed on the floors such as how many cna's do they staff per rn and nurse patient ratios. do the staff get along? what shift do you work...how is it different from others? i am thinking that i am going to have to do med-surg. i have never really wanted to do med-surg, but noticed that new hanover has multiple med-surg options. or, so it seems. the oaks also is an interest of mine. i was also thinking maybe i could do ed. how is new hanover's ed staffed? i know that brunswick's is relatively small.

if anyone has any information that could help me feel like i am making the right choice...please...help. i am more familiar with small hospitals, unlike new hanover. i think that is what is making this so hard.

thanks.

Hello! I am a volunteer at NHRMC (highschool junior) and I will tell you that NHRMC is a completely awesome place to be. They have just opened two new buildings (surgical building and womens and childrens) and each Christmas they give presents to the volunteers and staff. They take care of their employees and go out of the way for them. I know very little about Brunswick, but New Hanover is just so awesome. I plan on becoming a nurse and hopefully working there one day. Sorry I could not provide more info.
