Interview at Duke

I'll let you know how it goes. You might have to consider taking a place without seeing it. The properties closer to the hospital are newer and more expensive. I won't have a car right away, so proximity is important for me. You can find cheaper places a bit further out, but will most likely need a car.

Thanks bigworld. I am planning to get a car there. Right now, I am looking close to Durham or Chapel Hill. Do you know when they ask us to sign the contract and do all the health check ups? Are you planning to get relocation assistance from Duke?

I got an email form HR that said we would "go over benefits and sign contracts on the 24th of August". They'll be having a reception on that day for the new orientees. The date isn't set in stone, but we'll get further updates as we get closer.

Ohh how is the cost of renting around the hospital? Do you like the area? Good luck in finding a place, I hope you find one you fall in love with! Where are you from originally?

The cost around the hospital is not too bad. A nice 1-bedroom can be found for about $800. However, most, if not all of the cheaper places are already gone. I didn't get a chance to really explore my last time there, but it seems nice enough. I'm from NYC originally.

Are you BSN or ADN degree holders? I am interested in Duke and was wondering what they were taking in terms of education.

I got an interview at Duke and I have a BSN.

Thanks everyone for all of your advice! I will definitely take advantage of the recruiter chat, and if I end up being offered a position, would love to get to know everyone!

I'm ADN and enrolled in an RN-BSN program.

Do you know if we have to apply for relocation grant before we move to be eligible for it? I know we can apply for it after we sign the contract (which might be the end of August), but then I should be moved in NC. Would I still get the relocation grant after I am moved in? Did you have a chance to talk to recruiter about this?

As far as I know, we don't have to apply before we move. I think the requirement is that we apply within about 6 weeks once we sign the papers. I did not talk to a recruiter while I was down there. Just spent some time with my future manager and looked at some apartments. Do you have any apartments lined up yet?

I did not make any calls yet. But I have some places I would like to check. I am going to be there mid-late July, so as I get closer to my departure, then I'll call some places. Did you find any place?

I found a couple of apartmets. I'm on the waitlist at one place, and waiting for approval at the other. My manager also thinks there might be the opportunity to move into a place (extra apt..not roomate) with someone from our dept. But not certain that will happen.

Hey all! I just got back from my trip to North Carolina to interview at Duke...the manager and nurses were SO friendly and unbelievably nice, I was amazed. I got a job offer two days after the interview, but had just received an offer in my hometown in CA, so I had to turn it down. I would have loved to work at Duke, though! Good luck on your careers at such an amazing hospital :)

luckybella,

Congrats on your job offers! What floor did you interview on at Duke?
