Duke Spring Residency 2022/New Nurses at Duke

Published

Hey!
I just a job with Big Duke for their Spring ED residency and wanted to connect with other new nurses. I think having a good support group and knowing people throughout the hospital is always helpful, especially at such a big hospital. I am also moving to the area with my 3 kids in January, we've never lived in NC so any advice of places to go and things to do would also be fun!

Yeah, it feels like such a long wait between graduating to actually working because of the NCLEX and licensing, the time just drags. Luckily moving across country has kept me occupied a bit. Are you going to be days or nights?

The time definitely drags, plus I didn’t work during school, so I’m chomping at the bit to be busy again. I’m working days, what about you? Have you met anybody else from our cohort? Do you know how many of us there are? I though I heard like 13, but I’m not sure if that’s accurate.

Oh OK, I’ll be on nights. I worked sporadically, but I have 3 kids so working and going to school would have been rough. I haven’t heard, I haven’t seen any other ED new grads in the facebook group either. I honestly haven’t been given any information other than onboarding stuff LOL.

You and me both, just a trickle of information here and there. I feel like I'm back in the military LOL

Hey everyone ?

I know I'm getting ahead of myself since I graduate in December. I wanted to hear some feed back from those of you that went through the residency program at Duke. I'm from Miami, but I'm potentially moving to NC. I saw Duke as being an amazing place to work. How's the work culture? How's the living and housing situation? What's the patient to nurse ratio? Any pros/cons?

Thank you kindly,

Camila

Raleigh would be your best bet, Durham isn’t far from Raleigh and I think has a younger population, but both are college towns. Morrisville would be close as well. There’s a duke university hospital new grad facebook group for those looking for roommates but it will all be in Durham.
