Pediatric Registered Nurse Jobs in North Carolina: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a pediatric registered nurse in North Carolina?

You become a pediatric registered nurse in North Carolina by earning an Associate Degree in Nursing or a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, passing the NCLEX-RN exam, and obtaining licensure through the North Carolina Board of Nursing. North Carolina participates in the Nursing Licensure Compact, so nurses licensed in other Compact states may practice without a separate state license. Most pediatric roles then require completing a pediatric nursing orientation or residency program at the hiring facility.

How much do pediatric registered nurses make in North Carolina?

Pediatric registered nurses in North Carolina earn a median of about $84,350 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $67,660 for the lowest 10% to over $110,220 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire pediatric registered nurses in North Carolina?

Employers hiring pediatric registered nurses in North Carolina right now include Angels of Care Pediatric Home Health, Advocate Aurora Health, and Atrium Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. North Carolina's large academic health systems and regional children's hospitals account for the majority of ongoing pediatric nursing openings across the state.

Which North Carolina cities have the most pediatric registered nurse jobs?

The cities with the most pediatric registered nurse openings in North Carolina are Charlotte, Winston-Salem, and Chapel Hill. Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham lead because of their large children's hospital campuses and academic medical centers, while smaller markets like Greensboro and Winston-Salem generate steady openings through regional health systems that serve pediatric populations across central and western North Carolina.

Are there remote pediatric registered nurse jobs in North Carolina?

Yes, but they're rare. Pediatric nursing is a hands-on clinical role and the large majority of positions require an in-person presence in a hospital, clinic, or outpatient setting. About 17% of pediatric registered nurse openings tied to North Carolina are remote or hybrid as of August 2026. The small subset of remote opportunities tends to involve pediatric telephone triage, case management, or care coordination roles rather than direct bedside care.

How can I get hired as a pediatric registered nurse in North Carolina with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying to a new graduate nurse residency program, which Atrium Health, Duke Health, and UNC Health all offer and which are specifically designed for nurses without clinical experience. These structured residencies include pediatric rotations and lead directly to unit placement. Candidates with clinical rotations in pediatric or NICU settings during nursing school, along with active PALS certification and a North Carolina Board of Nursing license, have a measurable edge in the application process.

Where can I find and apply to pediatric registered nurse jobs in North Carolina?
