Anyone have info on this? Also looking to move to the area and would appreciate some insider info!

I have heard that Rex and WakeMed have the best pay. I relocate to NC next week and will be working for Rex. I'm told that Rex has some very happy employees. I've been told that WakeMed is operating in the red and not doing well financially but that could be wrong.

Keep me posted, I'd like to know what you think of the facility once you settle in.

I have a friend who just left Rex and he loved working there. It is a very nice hospital and a plus is that it is affiliated with UNC Healthcare system. They are known for providing great care at Rex and I have never seen an employee who wasn't happy. My uncle recently had a quadruple bypass there and all the nurses on his team worked together flawlessly. It seems like a great hospital to work for.

So I've been at Rex for about 3 weeks now. The first 2 weeks was orientation and Epic classes, but so far everyone is SOOO nice. According to everyone I've spoken to, they have a very low turnover rate(something like 3%?)...I can see that, as honestly, everyone seems so happy to be there. I've not yet run into anyone who has been rude or disrespectful. So far, I LOVE it! And like mge said about her uncle's team working flawlessly together? I'm training in the birth center OR right now and that is so true. They are a true team and they know their parts and work seamlessly together. I've been really amazed b/c at my former hospital, it could be chaos at times in an emergency. We got things done as well, but still could be crazy.
