Central NC assignments?

Specialties Travel

Published

Specializes in ER / ICU.

I've heard from several travelers that NC is a popular travel destination. But I've been emailing a ton of companies asking if they have a lot of assignments in central NC, specifically Winston-Salem, Greensboro or Thomasville and they all keep telling me they rarely get anything there. So I'm confused :( I'd really like to go there in the spring to stay with a friend. So my question is... Does anyone know of any companies that works with hospitals in that area? I can only travel in the ER since its the only area I have experience in, which unfortunately limits my options. Thanks for the input! :)

A few months back Fastaff had tons of positions in Winston Salem. I think the particular hospital was going through EMR conversion. Maybe they still have positions left.

I know you are looking for travel job and an ER job, however Thomasville Medical Center is looking for a Psych nurses. You lack of experience would not hurt you.

I live in Charlotte, and work in corrections. I've seen on Craigs list that Maxim needs corrections nurses and the pay is very good. Working in ED is an excellent foundation. Plus corrections is a good place to work. You have officers there to protect you. I've worked corrections for years and have never been hurt while working inside the prison or jail.

I've worked for Nurse Choice, an AMN company for the last 8 months in Winston. It was an EPIC conversion, but when I decided to move on, they begged me to stay as per diem working for Nurse Finders--since they were a sister company--as a PCU nurse. I signed up to work at Forsyth, but refused to sign a contract. A day later, I got a call to travel, with Nurse Choice, to Prince William, VA. I snagged it, because it was rapid response, and the pay was better. From what I could see for Winston, it was wide open when I left, telling some nurses that they could work 7 days if they pleased. But for right now, it's flu season. The spring is pretty far out, they probably have no idea what is coming.

Thanks guys. I actually talked to TG Healthcare the other day and they work extensively with a network in and around Greensboro. I only talked to about 25 companies before finding this...but better late than never! :)
