Role at a Glance
BAYADA's Raleigh Skilled Nursing team is hiring a Registered Nurse for private-duty home health assignments near Benson, NC. You'll provide one-on-one patient care, follow physician-directed care plans, and document clinical outcomes — on a schedule you help shape. Compensation runs up to $32/hour; new graduates with an active NC RN license are welcome to apply.
What This Role Is
This private-duty RN position places you inside a client's home — not a hospital ward — where you deliver personalized clinical care without the pace or patient volume of an acute setting. Operating out of BAYADA's Raleigh Skilled Nursing Office and serving clients near Benson, NC, you'll travel to a single patient per shift, carry out and document physician-directed care plans, conduct nursing assessments, and monitor health status over time. The role suits nurses who value continuity of care and clinical autonomy over high-rotation shift assignments.

The company has earned external recognition from Newsweek as a top workplace across categories including overall, women, parents and families, and diversity, and from Forbes as a top employer for veterans. For new staff, BAYADA structures onboarding with paid training that includes simulation lab sessions and supervised client introductions before independent caseloads begin. Clinicians also receive 24/7 on-call support from both clinical and administrative staff throughout their tenure.
Day-to-Day Responsibilities
- Visit a single assigned client per shift within the Benson, NC service area
- Carry out and accurately document physician-ordered care plans
- Assess client health status and identify clinically significant changes in condition
- Maintain complete records of observations, nursing interventions, and evaluative outcomes
- Exercise independent clinical judgment in home and school-based care settings
Must-Have Qualifications
- Graduation from a nationally accredited nursing program, verified by transcript or diploma
- Active Registered Nurse (RN) license in good standing in North Carolina
Preferred — Not Required
- At least one year of clinical nursing experience at the LPN or RN level
Skills Snapshot: Required vs. Preferred
Two things are non-negotiable: a degree from an accredited nursing program and an active NC RN license. Everything else is preferred, not required — BAYADA explicitly welcomes new graduates into this role. Practically, the position calls for patient assessment, care-plan execution, thorough clinical documentation, and the ability to make independent clinical decisions without immediate peer backup. Prior experience at the LPN or RN level is preferred and may influence starting pay or the complexity of cases assigned, but it is not a barrier to applying.
Pay & Compensation Structure
BAYADA lists pay up to $32 per hour, with the exact rate determined by your qualifications and shift availability. The posting notes that higher-paying assignments may be accessible when client demand warrants it. Paychecks are issued weekly. A $1,200 referral bonus is available when you bring another qualified nurse onto the team. The posting does not disclose an hourly floor, an annual salary equivalent, or benefits cost-sharing details — candidates should request a specific rate range during the interview process.
