Hi, I am applying for a nursing job in a NICU as a new grad. this next May in North Carolina. I am looking for feedback on the hospitals near my home- I'm going to school in NY so I don't get much feedback from them about places in NC. I am considering: Moses Cone, Forsyth, Baptist, Wake Med, Alamance, Duke, and UNC. I have a few general interviews set up already over the week of Thanksgiving. Any comments would be great. Thanks!
Cone is a very good facility. Likewise Forsyth and Baptist.
Alamance is a good, general hospital, and one that's doing a lot more specializing than they used to, and bringing in more medical specialists. I used to work there. It's maybe a 20 minute drive from Greensboro, depending on where in Greensboro you'll be living.
Duke, UNC and Wake Med would each be at least an hour away. I wouldn't recommend them (though they're all fine places) unless you had a particular reason for needing to be there.
Hey, thanks. Well, I was also thinking that we could live midway between RTP area and GSO if I were to work at UNC, Duke, or Wake Med. But I don't know how long term that would be.
There are a lot of people who live in Mebane:
when one spouse is working in the Greensboro area, and the other in Durham/RTP/Raleigh/whatever. It's a small city, growing, and close to I-85/40.
