Specializes in Critical Care.

According to friends, Piedmont has what you said are looking for. Atlanta is not East GA though, and if you're living on the coast, then you want St Mary's in Athens, or St Joe's in Savannah. GL!!

As a carpenter (and reader)...Emory at Johns Creek has a GREAT management team (according to swmbo)...

I didn't live close enough to work in ATL myself. I also hear that Northside is good, but if they don't want to hire you they won't talk t you after they make their decision. All About Staffing and Wellstar have internal agencies that pay great.

Hello all again,

It is been a long time, but I chose wellstar hospital, but it wasn't a great place to work from my experience. It was a cardiac floor and I loved cardiac, but the my co workers and management team were ver unprofessional and weren't goo at all. Now I moved on:)

I saw your post and am actually in the middle of transitioning to atlanta myself. Have you found another hospital in Atlanta with a teamplayer atmosphere that you enjoy working at? I am looking to grow in an ICU and have some ICU experience but still have so much more to learn and would like to work at a hospital who takes the time to help their employees grow and learn. Any recommendations? Thanks :)

Do you have interviews with any of the hospitals and have you received additional feedback regarding best locations/hospitals for ICU? Thanks

I am actually working in atlanta as a travel nurse in their ICU's. However, pretty soon I plan to stay somewhere full time. The only interviews I have as of now are for travel positions, since that's what I'm currently doing. As far as feedback, I've heard that you will learn sooo much at Grady but they "eat their young." I also know that the only level I trauma centers in atlanta are AMC and Grady, so I honestly am still trying to make a decision. I feel torn because I definitely want that level I trauma experience, but I want a nurturing and team work atmosphere as well. (I'm being super picky!) Lol
