More about CarolinaEast Health System
Full-time staff get a benefits package; benefits are also offered to part-time plus and part-time employees. If you are new to practice, CarolinaEast posted a New Graduate Nurse Residency for May 2022 grads and licensed RNs who had not yet worked as a nurse. That program was described as meeting national residency accreditation standards. The same 2022 listing showed $26.00 an hour to start, differentials for 2nd, 3rd, and weekend shifts, a $10,000 sign-on for qualified full-time new grads, and relocation up to $5,000. That posting is closed, so you would ask what still stands. Clinic PRN RN jobs in ENT and Urology are listed as day shift at $27.50–$42.62, and those nurses train new clinical employees in office protocols. Outpatient staff nurses are expected to take charge for an assigned shift under the Nurse Manager. On Glassdoor, 129 ratings average 3.3, and 55% would recommend the employer to a friend. A float-pool nurse in New Bern talked about flexible scheduling and kind coworkers. A former RN wrote that there are lots of staffing shortages.
