- Duke Regional Hospital, with 4 of the city's 4 openings and 301 beds. Counts are refreshed hourly from the board.
- Do I need a North Carolina license to work in Durham?
- North Carolina is a Nurse Licensure Compact state, so an active multistate license covers you here. A single-state license from elsewhere does not.

- Durham's median advertised rate is $2,038 a week against $2,072 in Wilmington; HUD fair market rent for a two-bedroom is $1,860 in Durham and $1,580 in Wilmington. Medians mix every specialty posted, so compare your own specialty's rate before the city's.
- Is there housing on CircleRN near Durham?
- Yes: 49 places listed by hosts for travelers within 25 miles of the city's hospitals. Take the stipend and rent one, or use the listings to compare against what your recruiter quotes.
- What about facilities with no openings today?
- They are listed here with what their pages hold: the facility, cost of living, housing nearby and what travel nurses have said about working there. Postings appear the hour they reach the board.
- Does North Carolina tax travel nurse pay?
- North Carolina taxes wage income, so the taxable base of a package is taxed at the state level as well as federally. Stipends are not wages; what counts as a stipend depends on your tax home.
