NICU Travel Assignment: Atlanta, Georgia

The Peach State

The travel nurse assignment in Atlanta, Georgia was always on my list of places to work. I even thought about relocating to that city. The hospital where I worked was a newer campus of a major Children’s Hospital, in which the NICU was located on two floors. This particular assignment consisted of a “block schedule” where I worked on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

If you are considering a travel nurse assignment in Atlanta, GA, make sure to check out the resources provided below:

• Hospital: AMB Children Hospital of Atlanta. Level IV NICU.
• Scrubs Color(s): Any color.

• Lodging: Furnished Finder (less than 10 mins from hospital).
• Transportation: Drive or Lyft/Uber.
• Hospital Parking: Free Parking: garage parking, with security onsite.
• Assignments: Mostly 1:2 nurse to patient ratio (rarely 3 patients). Often receive high acuity patients, e.g., intubated or tracheotomy patients with central lines and multiple IV drips. No admissions.
• Floating: PICU, CICU, or TICU.

In conclusion, the travel nurse assignment in Atlanta was super busy. However, there were resource nurses on the units to assist. Night shift workers changed IV lines every night, if patients were receiving TPN/Lipids. Clear IV medications/drips were to be changed on day shift every 7 days.
