Hi, I'm debating a move to NC b/c I have family out there and I'm sick of the winters! I graduated with my BSN in May and am working on a cardiopulmonary unit (hate the BS on the floor) I am wondering if any facilities have opportunities for new grads. I don't know much about the area, but would like to be near the ocean. I also prefer a teaching facility or a facility that has opportunities for professional development.

Any info would be welcome!

Duke, UNC Healthcare, Rex, etc... all of them will hire you. And it's only a couple of hours away from the ocean. I understand about being sick of the winters. I escaped from NY and I'm IN LOVE WITH NC!!!!

Are the positions posted as new grad positions?

I don't know if they are necessarily posted as new grads post but I know for sure they are hiring new grads. They are hiring in maternity for sure. I see a new one everyday.

Here's a link to New Hanover in Wilmington from their website advertising for new grads:

Hi Jam,

The 2 largest hospitals at the NC Coast are New Hanover in Wilmington (near Carolina Beach) and Grand Strand Hospital in Myrtle Beach on the NC/SC border- you'll have to check their websites to see if they're teaching hospitals. There are also quite a few smaller hospitals along the Coast, including a fairly new (teeny-tiny one) on the Outer Banks (I think it's in Nags Head - beautiful place). Major teaching hospitals will be about 2 hours away from the Coast - Duke, Chapel Hill, WakeMed.

New-Grad positions are usually for people right out of school with zero experience.

If you have prior experience (even if it's only 6 months) - a lot of hospitals will consider you for positions other than New-Grad.

Hope this helps!!!

Hi!

I'm moving from NY to NC in March 2008 and will be living in Pinehurst... I'm thinking of working at Moore Regional Hospital. I am also tired of the long and cold winters and can't wait to move down there...Any advice is much appreciated!! Thank you!
