If you want to stay near Vidant Medical Center, then Waterford and Treybrook will work. The Heritage at Arlington is also nice.

Hope this helps.

I am graduating from ECU's nursing school and have been renting from wainright properties for years now! I really like the,. They have a couple of apt complexes right around vidant including the one I'm living in. Paladin west, cedar creek and medical center are all right around vidant!!

Wow, Vidant has been on a hiring frenzy! I have received a few emails for job fairs. it's too far for me to go, but I am happy where I am anyway. Good Luck all!!!!

I would center your search around the Vidant Medical Center. Greenville can be tricky with the location of ECU. I'm sure you don't want to end up living in a noisy student housing district. Will you be able to visit first before making your final decision on where to reside? You can also ask your contact person at Vidant if they have any housing recommendations. A real estate office in the area may also handle some rentals too. Good luck!

Hey!!! I have accepted my offer as well but I will be moving in June! Get a 2 bedroom and we'll room when I move?! Hahaha but umm I actually like the signature place coz it's super close to the hospital and the grocery store! I am not sure if you will be driving, but I plan to leave my car behind at least for the beginning so the signature place is the closest, walking distance wise!! :) otherwise treybrook looked great and so did the heritage just a little pricey tbh but so is the signature place and laundry isn't included there actually (I'm not sure if that's important to you) lol

How’s your Greenville experiance?

QuinnRN20 · Apr 20, 2020

Don’t waste your time in Greenville. It’s a horrible place to live!

WOW!, OK. Those are some harsh words

@H51205As far as the hospital goes, I LOVE my unit. I have now been working there for 2 years and I love the population and the people that I work with. As far as Greenville the city in general-it's OK. Greenville doesn't offer a whole lot to do, but the good news is Raleigh is only an hour away. You can find things to do in Greenville-you just might have to do some searching to figure out what events are being held as no one does a great job of advertising. If you are going to be going to Vidant I give you my best and hope you have a good experience as I have had!

May I ask the hourly rate and the PTO monthly accrual?

When I first got hired it was 22.50/hr but I know it has increased for new grads since I started (I think it's 24 something now). PTO accrual (if remembering correctly) you get 7 hours/every paycheck. So 14 hours of PTO every month. PTO can be used for vacation/sick time/call outs of a shift and replacing the hours you were supposed to work. I have 200+ hours of PTO. Vidant does self-scheduling so a lot of the time I can work around the days I need off so I rarely have to use PTO unless I need a full week off.
