I am a December '10 grad and I wanta SICU residency. I researched the AACN's list of residencies and I know Duke has a critical care program. I see Wake Med has residencies - Do they offer critical care? I have also searched UNC- Chapel Hill but can not find any current info on their program (if they still have one?). I've called Pitt and was told I could apply now and be on wait list for December. They gave starting pay as $21/hr. Wake Forrest Baptist has a program also. Anyone have info on that? Does any one know the starting salaries for these programs. I see apprx $20 to $21 as a starting wage for most new grad jobs in NC. Also, I see Carolinas Health System had created a new grad program. Do they hire into critical care areas? Pay? I have researched salary.com and all the other sites but I don't think they reflect accurate new grad info. Thanks in advance for any help!
