    Beverly Hospital-26 base, 6.00 wknd/night diff! But only 1.85 for weeknight and weekend day diff.

    Not so great, but very nice staff and location if you live on the Northshore.

    I work at BIDMC. If you start work after Jan 08 the starting salary for new grads will be $27.62/hr not counting your ppc (BIDMC has no diff). With your ppc it should be about $29.30/hr. If you work more evenings than days it will be higher (you get the ppc no matter what shift you work). I have been told the following: Childrens Hosp has a similar salary structure to BIDMC. Mass General Hospitals starts there new grads at $27.75/hr not counting diffs. Brigham and Womens start at $29.85/hr not counting diffs, and Boston Medical Center new grads start at $30.00 not counting diffs.
    Can someone explain what ppc means?

    I could be wrong but I think that's another way of stating what a diff. would be.

    I only have heard chatter, but I think their base pay is low compared with other community hospitals in the area.

    I work at BIDMC and PPC stands for professional pay category. The whole thing is confusing..but pretty much..if you work a rotation..say day/evening or day/night- you get a set amount in addition to your base pay so kind of like a differential pay- but that amount stays the same whether you work days evenings or nights. If you work more evenings or nights than days..your PPC goes up, if you work more days, your PPC goes down. Sorry if this sounds confusing! Hope this helps.

    BIDMC did away with the PPC several months ago- now we actually get diffs- Weeknights are 4.60, weekend nights 7.00. Evenings I believe is like 2.50 and weekend evenings I think is 5.00.
