Duke Medical Cntr is the lowest paying employer in the Raleigh Durham Area of the Wake med pays the highest with the best shift diff available and weekend option. UNC is next for shift diff and pay availability. Of course there are many smaller hospital but they are ususally associated with one of the three larger hospital just noted.
