The clearest RN line in the facts is the full-time Forensic Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) Registered Nurse role, posted at a fixed $75,000 base. In that work you handle medication management, health monitoring, and crisis intervention for justice-involved clients with serious mental illness or substance use disorders, alongside courts and corrections partners. Beyond FACT, the employer also posts Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Employment and Housing Specialist roles in Supply and a Community Support Team (CST) Professional role in Durham, so the day-to-day is community-team behavioral health rather than hospital bedside. Staff often mention peer camaraderie, flexibility, and chances to build social-work skills. At the same time, reviews flag pay and benefits as weak for the load, thin support, and burnout risk—worth weighing before you apply. Raleigh’s cost of living runs slightly under the national level, with typical in-city commutes around 21 minutes and common suburb drives in the mid-20s to high-30s. North Carolina is a compact-license state with a flat state income tax near 4.25%.
