Nurses from NC

U.S.A. North Carolina

Published

I am a registered nurse in Syracuse, NY. I am a new grad but got a job before I even passed my boards. I worked as an LPN for a year in a doctors office then went back to school for my RN. I work on the ICU floor and have been there about 2 months. My question is this. My parents are moving to NC in the fall and I would like to go with them. They are looking to move to the Concord or Huntersville area which is outside of Charlotte. I have heard some really discouraging things about the job market for nurses in NC. I know here in NY no one has trouble finding work as an RN. I do only have my associate degree and won't have a full year in when I move. I went to a very good nursing school which is nationally accredited. Looking to hear from anyone that live in these areas to learn about the job market. Thanks.

Lots of jobs here now, start applying at Novant health, (they have a lot of hospitals) it really depends on if your willing to drive to them. But start applying soon, they are hiring for summer....
