Visiting Nurse Atlanta?

Published

Has anyone worked/working for them? One of my co-workers is in the process of interviewing with them and has nothing but great things to say about them. I'm very interested as our hospital floor jobs are horrid and we are all burnt out. I'm just wondering after what he has told me where the negative side is? Is it as wonderful as he makes it sound? I have med/surg, cardiac, urology, ob/gyn, plastics, and ER experience. I currently work weekend option plus Fridays in the hospital. I would probably work weekends in HH as they have an open position on their website. Seems I could maybe go to church on Sundays before starting my day????? Thanks! :nurse:

I've never worked for them but I've always heard good things about them.

What hospital do you work at? I have noticed that the patient to nurse ratios here in the Atlanta area vary quite a bit from place to place. I'd like to know which places to avoid. :)

Specializes in ER.

I worked for them for 5 years but left in 1998. I loved it! Great company with great benefits. I would not plan to go to church if you work week ends though. Weekends are very busy, and you will not have your regular territory, but will run all over the place seeing patients you don't know. You will probably have AM dressing changes so that leaves out going to church unless you don't mind dropping in and getting paged before services are over.

That said, I have been gone a good while, so things may be different.

From their application I actually would be in a certain territoryon weekends. Their positions for WE option list the territories where jobs are available. From what my co-worker tells me they have really improved it so people don't have to drive all over the city compared to a few years back.

Ladyrn, my job is horrible mostly because of the floor I work on than the actual hospital. I'm on a med/surge floor. Right now we have 4-5 patients, techs have max of 10. BUT, a few months ago we had 6-7 and were so short techs that nurses were giving baths, changing beds, doing full care on all 6-7 pts.
