Nursing Jobs in North Carolina: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a nursing in North Carolina?
To become a licensed nurse in North Carolina, you must graduate from an accredited nursing program, pass the NCLEX-RN exam for registered nurses or NCLEX-PN for licensed practical nurses, and apply for licensure through the North Carolina Board of Nursing. North Carolina participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact, so nurses already licensed in a compact state can often practice without applying for a separate North Carolina license.
How much do nursings make in North Carolina?
Nursings in North Carolina earn a median of about $38,460 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $30,260 for the lowest 10% to over $47,080 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire nursings in North Carolina?
Employers hiring nursings in North Carolina right now include Liberty Healthcare Companies, UNC Health, and Saber Healthcare, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. North Carolina's large academic medical centers and regional hospital networks drive consistent, year-round nursing recruitment across specialties.
Which North Carolina cities have the most nursing jobs?
Charlotte, Durham, and Raleigh have the most nursing openings in North Carolina. Charlotte and Raleigh lead because of their large hospital systems and rapidly growing populations, while Durham's concentration of academic medical institutions, including major research hospitals affiliated with Duke University, generates steady specialized nursing demand.
Are there remote nursing jobs in North Carolina?
Yes, but they're rare. About 5% of nursing openings tied to North Carolina are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting how hands-on clinical care limits location flexibility for most roles. The nursing positions most likely to be fully remote are utilization review, case management, and telephone triage roles that don't require direct patient contact.
How can I get hired as a nursing in North Carolina with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to a new graduate nurse residency program, which large North Carolina health systems such as Atrium Health, Duke Health, and WakeMed run specifically for nurses with no post-graduation experience. These structured programs last several months and provide clinical mentorship across units. Candidates with a completed nursing degree and an active North Carolina license or compact license have the strongest applications, and starting in a medical-surgical or telemetry unit is a common way to build the clinical hours needed for specialty roles.
Where can I find and apply to nursing jobs in North Carolina?
You can find and apply to nursing jobs in North Carolina on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Find roles that fit your experience and specialty and apply directly to the employers posting them.
