Opportunities exist for registered nurses to undertake short-term assignments within healthcare systems across North Carolina. These positions offer temporary employment within a single organization, contrasting with traditional agency-based travel roles. For example, a nurse might work a series of 13-week contracts at different facilities owned by the same hospital network, all located within North Carolina.
These roles provide several advantages. Healthcare organizations benefit from consistent staffing coverage across their various locations, ensuring continuity of care and potentially reducing recruitment and training costs associated with external agencies. For nurses, the structure can offer increased job security and simplified administrative processes compared to working with multiple agencies. This model can also create opportunities for professional development and networking within a specific healthcare system, which could lead to permanent employment.
