Who has the best PRN or per diem rates?

[cosmicmama, BSN, RN]

I'm a travel nurse, but I want to stay close to home (NC) for the summer. My local hospital pays $35/hr for PRN. It's really hard to find PRN rates...who have you heard pays $40 or more per hour for PRN or per diem? For the record, I work L&D and I have 18 years experience. I will consider anywhere in the state.

The Naval Hospital on Camp Lejeune pays well, they do contracts, so you'd have to contact one of the agencies and get a contract; you can get per diem contracts but to work there you need to have 2+ years experience, which you obviously do.
