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.

Thanks for the information. I applied everywhere and UNC called first, I travel out to interview and tour the area. (Costly but worth it in th ened) Unfortunately it was during the snow storm so my interview was rescheduled until the next day. Interview went well and I accepted an offer, I start in May. This is truely a blessing, I really wanted Duke but sometime you get what you need and not what you want. Other health systems was giving me the run around, but with UNC from recruiter to manager to interview was a smooth transition. Wakemed wanted me to be licensed in NC already, Duke scheduled a phone interview cancelled one, on the day of and on the rescheduled day they forgot to call but I called them, completed the interview and the only follow up email states we will let you know of the next step. So I will start my new career at UNC, rotating shifts may be a lil hard in the beginning and it took me 15 mins to walk from parking garage for the interview and another 10 minutes to find my car when I returned. It's a beautiful campus and I see a great potential to grow my nursing career with UNC. Thanks everyone for your feedback and comments

I have thought about travel assignments as well, if you have an agency you could recommend that would be great. Thanks

Great advice, I will include this in my cover letter. Thanks

Hello, NC nurses I wanted to relocate to the Raleigh area in late May early June when my kids are out from school here in Delaware. Should I start applying for jobs now? I have been on several hospital sites and I seen a few opportunities I would like to apply for but if I get called for an interview now would I look crazy if I could not start until June? Any advice would be helpful

Your information was really appreciated, I was looking at the education benefit for my 11th grade dtr. I'm going to apply to your hospital also and I will try to plan interviews around the same time. I'm so excited but overwhelmed at the same time.

Thank you, this info really helps me. I'm planning a move by March to the Raleigh area. I have 3 school age kids Elem, middle and high school. I work at Select hospital in Delaware and I was going to transfer to the Durham location. I was going to wait until I get there to reasearch other hospitals. After speaking to HR at Duke she encouraged me to apply at Duke first to try to take advantage of the relocation benefit that they offer. Thanks for sharing the information

Hello. I was down visiting Charlotte last week me and the kids stayed at the Residence in it has a kitchen area, and living room area, free internet and free buffet breakfast each morning. The longer you stay they less it is per night and if you have AAA it is discounted. Have you heard of the NACA program if not please look it up online. Great program I just completed the info session, great interest rate on new home loans and no down payment or closing cost. I know sounds too good to be true but please look into I promise you it will be the best move you ever made. Best of luck on your move Also the Residence in take pets

Hello, Choosier2003 Can you share any information about the health and dental benefits at Duke, also how long have you been there and how are things going? Thanks

Hi Queen City Nurse, I'm not sure why I still can not send private messages, with that being said please send me an e-mail through my profile page. Hopefully if you are able to get this I can ask you some of the detailed questions I really need help with. Thanks so much for your helpful information

Hello gal220rn, do you know what hospitals offer you the opportunity to shadow? This is something I really would like to do. Thanks

Thanks again Navvet, can I ask your advice about the Chapel Hill or triangle area?

Hello, I know this reply is a year later. Hope all is going well. I'm planning a move to Charlotte this June, from Middletown, Delaware. I have been researching the University area and CMC hospitals. If you have any information to share about the main hospital or the Charlotte area, please share. Thanks
