New grad BSN graduating in July, interested in Wilmington, Raleigh, and Charlotte. I'm from MS and currently live in AL. I'm very familiar with NC but not the hospitals. Which ones are best for new grads in these locations based on pay, benefits, and turnover rate? I'm doing my practicum in MICU 0 Likes
quazar Has 20 years experience. Apr 16, 2017 Raleigh/Durham has an excellent market for new grads. If you look on the Duke, UNC, and Wake Med websites, look at new grad job postings and their new graduate programs and you'll see. 0 Likes
greenerpastures Has 5 years experience. Apr 16, 2017 Most hospitals in that area do their new grad interviews/applications WAY in advance, so make sure you look early. I think Duke/UNC only put them out early in the month - like from 1st-5th. Try Rex in Raleigh area too. They do lots of new grad stuff. 0 Likes
bjames09 Apr 17, 2017 Thank you!! How early? I don't graduate till July so I'm trying to not get mixed in with the May graduates and end up getting pushed aside. 0 Likes

coneal783, ADN, RN Apr 18, 2017 I believe the new BSN graduates that were recently hired on at UNC Rex started at $26/hr. I'm not sure what their shift diffs are, though. 0 Likes
