2. Looking for Expeirences Working in NC Hospitals

   froggy93 replied to SandyScrubs's topic in North Carolina

   I know people who have worked at both and they said that people who work 25+ years at duke like it because they don't know anything else. Because of dukes great reputation they have an attitude like you should be thankful to be able to work for us. O...

   froggy93 replied to SandyScrubs's topic in North Carolina

   UNC treats their employees much better than the surrounding hospitals like duke and wake med. partially because you're state employees so that is a nice perk to have. Their new grad program is great, it's specialized by whichever service line you're ...

7. Relocating to Raleigh, NC

   froggy93 replied to 29Nurse's topic in General Nursing

   I started as a new grad at UNC in October and love it here. I have my BSN , they mostly look for that, but they were one or two ADNs in my cohort. UNC actually prefers to hire out of state for new grads and not their own. Let me know if you have any ...

   froggy93 replied to Larry2016's topic in General Students

   You will learn on night shift. Trust me. I just started in October on a med surg floor at a busy teaching hospital ratio 1:5 . I did most of my orientation on day shift and it is just complete chaos. I am now off orientation and working night shift a...

    froggy93 replied to froggy93's topic in Government

    Yeah I was not asking specifically about new grads being selected and I was also not looking to do it now so missing the November selection board does not concern me. Again, I was only CURIOUS about army nursing in general

    You seem like a real peachy person and I looked there are no recent army threads that answer my questions from above

13. Hiring new grads vs. experienced

    froggy93 replied to froggy93's topic in General Nursing

    That probably is it; because now I do remember even my preceptor mentioning one day that she personally liked new grads bc they don't tell you that they prefer to do things a certain way and that it works better for them their own way. Also, to the p...
