Hi Leslie,
I work at BWH, but not in a bedside nursing role (I work in the Card. Surg. Research office). I did have to go through orientation (takes two weeks) and then there is a preceptor program that is tailored to the new hire's needs (for example, if you've never worked in Onc./BMT the program would be longer.
We are a unionized hospital, not sure if it's the highest paying in the state, but it's right up there. Contract up this Sept.
I've been here 3 years and love it.
The nursing dept. encourages learning, taking vacations/days off, mentoring, community activities etc.
I hope someone else here can speak to the specifics of floor nursing.
Good luck with your decision!
Linda
