Rules
- Faculty and staff of Duke University and Health System are eligible to refer a nurse to Duke.
- The Nurse Referral Program applies only to nurses hired at Duke University Hospital, Durham Regional Hospital and Duke Raleigh Hospital.
- The Nurse Referral Form must be submitted before a position is offered to the referred nurse.
- The Nurse Referral Form is valid for one year. After a year, if the referred nurse is not hired, the form is null and void.
- If the same nurse is referred more than once, only the first referral is accepted and eligible for the $5,000 incentive.
- The $5,000 incentive is contingent upon the referred nurse's acceptance of a job offer. It is paid out in installments ($2,500 after the referred nurse has completed their 90-day trial period, and $2,500 after a year of continuous service).
- Some limitations and exceptions apply. For complete guidelines, please review the official Nurse Referral Program policy.
