The Work Life

At Vidant Medical Center, you'll find a close-knit group of people working together toward a common goal: the best in patient care. And you'll have the tools you need to make it happen with efficiency and ease. From the latest in technology to our expanding services and facilities, you can take pride in being a part of the region's true healthcare leader. Our unique nursing environment allows you to apply your skills in a setting where your experience and expertise are respected and valued. You'll also find that your time away from work is just as important to us. We truly believe in a balance and the value of family, offering flexible scheduling options to work with almost any needs.

Our goal as a hospital is to develop the best team of healthcare providers. That's why, along with defined career paths and an established clinical ladder system, we're committed to your continuing educational needs.

We provide a comprehensive orientation to the unit you're assigned, balancing classroom instruction with clinical experiences. The goal of the Vidant Medical Center orientation program is to enhance your critical thinking, and interpersonal and technical skill development under the personal guidance of a clinical coach. We also use the Performance Based Development System for assessments, which allows the manager and educator an opportunity to identify your individual needs and formulate an orientation that's tailored to maximize your training and development opportunities.
