Hickory area index 88.5, where 100 is the national average.
Hickory sits in the foothills of western North Carolina, blending small-town ease with access to Lake Hickory and nearby Blue Ridge scenery. A lower-key pace and tight-knit community make it appealing for nurses seeking balance beyond the bedside.

About the employer
Cases are often 1:1 with medically complex kids: trach, vent, and G-tube work in the home or at school, plus a Pediatric Day Healthcare Center path with no nights, weekends, or holidays. New grads enter through a New Grad program…
Worth asking
The posting doesn’t answer these. Good ones to ask a recruiter or in the interview.
- Can you walk me through base pay range and differentials?
- What should I expect for weekly hours, holiday, call, and rotation?
- What orientation, preceptor time, and ongoing unit support are included?
- How are floating and staffing support handled day to day?
