Soon To be New Grad moving to Ralight NC, Looking for work! PLEASE HELP!

Published

Hello everyone,

I am very new to the forum.

I am currently a nursing student at a 2-year nursing school in Massachusetts. I will be graduating in May, and plan to move to Raleigh North Carolina. I have already begun my search for new-grad positions at the various hospitals. So far I have applied to Wake Med and UNC Hospital. However I was wondering if there is any other places I can check into? I am not picky as to where I work or what unit I am on, I just want to have a job lined up prior to moving to NC and want to get my foot in the door somewhere. I am also planning on taking my NCLEX in NC (A LOT CHEAPER THEN MA).

If any one has any information on where I can look for jobs as well as any other relevant information that my be of help to me, Please do share as it will be most greatly appreciated.

Thank You ALL!

Geoffrey

Rex Healthcare is in Raleigh.

Also, Duke Health Raleigh, but to be perfectly frank, I haven't heard too many people who are very happy working there. Hopefully that is changing since it has been taken over by Duke.

If you are willing to go to UNC, you may be willing to go to Duke in Durham as well?

It really depends on where you are going to live and how far you are willing to commute. Duke and UNC are huge teaching hospitals affiliated (obviously) with the universities. But they are a little ways from Raleigh.

WakeMed has campuses in Raleigh, Cary, Apex and North Raleigh, by the way. They are my first choice for a Raleigh hospital (both my husband and I work there!)

Good luck with your move!! Welcome in advance!

Oh and make sure you call to follow up your applications! I found that was necessary...
