Being a nurse in MA/New England

U.S.A. Massachusetts

Published

I'm curious to hear from other nurses. If any have worked in other parts of the country and worked in New England/Massachusetts, is it generally a more difficult place to work? Specifically the hospital setting.

What do you mean by difficult? I work in Western Mass, didn't have too much trouble finding work when I started with my ASN. The job market can be difficult, but it's not impossible as long as you are willing to work outside the hospital, at least to start.

I mean the environment, coworkers, workplace culture, etc. Things of that sort.

Hospitals are hospitals. ..New England...is...well....you'll have to experience and decide for yourself...the pay-overall in the NE is far better than most other parts of the country. ..go union-you'll be pleasantly surprised

No utopias anywhere in nursing but I think the Western Mass workplace culture is better than a lot of other places. There seems to be more of an expectation of healthy communication, and dysfunctionality not being the accepted norm.
