Hello everyone. I thought it would be useful to start a thread about the hospitals in North Carolina and the salary requirements. Does anyone know the starting salary for Duke or Wake Forest Baptist Hospital for someone with a BSN. Feel free to post about other hospitals as well.
Anyone know what the starting pay is for the Wilmington area hospitals?
I interviewed there at New Hanover, It was ridiculously low approx $19.00 and hour with $1.50hr/ wkd shift diff. I was making $21.42 hr at a Novant hospital with $4.00 hr for nights and $5.35hr (avg out) for wknds. it would have been a major pay cut and a much higher cost of living.
I make $24.03hr with UNC health care, $4.00 till 11pm and $5.00 after. Plus $10.00 an hr for weekend nights. I work in psych with 2 years experience. Duke was low got an offer the same day within 3 hrs of each. Duke was $20.74 with a much lower shift and weekend diff. It would have been a pay cut for me. I was at Novant with $20.42 getting nights and weekends diff. They think their name is enough. They do seem to have good educational benefits though.
