Starting pay for new grads in triad area, NOVANT & Wake

U.S.A. North Carolina

Published

Hello! I am wanting to start a more up to date thread about starting pays in the triad area. I know pay isn't everything but I want to make sure that I wouldn't be making to much less working for Wake because it will be a longer drive then I would working closer to home for novant. If anyone has any updated base pays and weekend and night shift differentials that would be really appreciated!

Specializes in orthopedic/trauma, Informatics, diabetes.

Wake is in the Triangle, The Triad is more Piedmont and further away. (Triangle is Raleigh-Durham) Wake, UNC, Duke. Triad is further west, I believe

As far as I know, WakeMed has the highest starting salaries in the area. They are all pretty close though.

I think the night shift, weekend diff for WakeMed is $16. $9 days. weekday nights ~$5. Don't quote me, but last time I looked it was around that.

Sorry I actually mean Wake Forrest as in Baptist.. I guess since im from around here we refer to that as wake but I can see the traingle area knowing Wake med as wake as well! Thanks for the input im sure it will help someone :)

If you can share your years of experience this can narrow the base pay to what is more accurate. I hear new grad is around $23.00 Wakemed shift diff for weekend nights Fri/ Sat /Sun is 16.25 and 10.00 for days weekday nights is $4 from 7-12 then $5 from midnight. The shifts start at 6:45 for am and pm.

Hope this helps, you will love the area. I made the move 2 years ago.

Ill update y'all and anyone else looking.

New grad position was offered at novant 24 an hour, 1.25 weekend diff, 4 dollar night diff

Wake Forrest was 23.25 an hour, 1.25 weekend, and 4 dollar night diff

Not bad but the weekend differential SUCKS compared to other places close by such as Cone, Duke, ect.

Any questions regarding these hospitals feel free to ask!
