Cape Fear Valley Health system needs nurses, and it s willing to pay them.
The system wants to increase the number of nurses it hires by 20% this year because of COVID-19, with the hope of hiring as many as 100 nurses in the next two months.
A national nursing shortage is making it hard for hospitals to care for patients with the disease, which is caused by a highly infectious coronavirus.
More than 100 COVID-19 patients were in Cape Fear Valley Medical Center on Thursday, including 11 in the intensive care unit, a hospital spokeswoman said. Nearly 4,000 North Carolina residents are hospitalized with the disease, according to the state Department of Health and Human Services website.
