   Best hospitals for new grad RN in NC?

   avrilmay86 replied to mihaSK's topic in North Carolina

   Would you describe them as providing a good solid orientation? Having good preceptors that actually want to see you succeed is very important to me.

   This sounds like a great, high energy area to work in. Would you recommend this area for a new grad, or for more experienced nurses?

   Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center Nurse Residency

   avrilmay86 replied to oneheartoneway's topic in North Carolina

   I was looking into this program also. Did you accept an offer with them? I wouldn't mind taking a slight pay cut if it meant I would be thoroughly prepared to work as an RN. Getting a good experience is very important to me.

    UNC Nurse Residency Program- Pediatrics

    avrilmay86 replied to am2016's topic in Job Hunt

    Hi! Late post, but very relevant to me. I've talked to some new nurses in picu and they've told me the whole process has changed. The way it sounds, it doesn't matter that I'm "in house", and now the floors bid for the new grads and rotate them to ea...
