i am putting the reality out there for anyone else who may be in my position. i do NOT live in atlanta... in fact, i live in "the boonies" as you call it and the market here is full (as i said before, all young AA's and CRNA's at the hospital i shadowed at). it isnt just atlanta... all of GA is becoming saturated, which SUCKS for those of us who counted on coming back here after graduating
