Raleigh Durham Hospitals?

Specializes in Gen Med, Pre-Op/Post-Op.

Hi

I'm planning on moving to the Raleigh Durham area in the next 6 months from Illinois.

I would like any helpful hints on different neighborhoods to live and jobs at the major hospitals in the area. I currently have two nursing jobs one at a level 1 trauma center on a med/surg unit that I have had for 3 years and one job pre-op/post-op ambulatory surgery.

Any info would be helpful. I'm active, divorced, no-kids, and would probably rent for a year to decide what area to move to. I've already been to the area to check it out but insider info will help.

Thanks...

You would probably be better off posting a question like this on the city-data forums. I found much more valuable information on there. I've only been here for 3 years so I'm not much help. I worked for a year in the float pool at Duke Hospital. Then I moved to Rex Hospital and have been here for 2 years on an intermediate care cardiac floor.

Do you have your Bachelor's? Most hospitals around here will not hire a nurse without their bachelor's. Or else you must sign papers that you will obtain the degree within 2 years.

Thanks for the replies...I have my BSN, and a NC license, I currently work on a Gen/Med floor of a level 1 trauma center. I have been here for 3 years and will relocate to Raleigh/Durham in the next few months. Any info on the hospitals in the area? I have applied to Duke and did a phone interview for the Duke Regional hospital, but I was wondering about working at other hospitals in the area and what they are like.
