Best hospital on the North Shore to work at??

chriscolin · Jan 8, 2008

Hi!
I'm getting my resume ready to send out to various hospitals, and I'm wondering if anyone has any advice/experience or connections with these institutions - Anna Jaques, NSMC, Beverly, Holy Family, Merrimack Valley, Lawrence General, Winchester, or Melrose/Wakefield. Has anyone worked at any of these hospitals as a new grad? Anyone heard good/bad things about working at any of these places? Anyone have any names of nursing recruiters for me??
Thanks in advance for any help you gave give!

I just interviewed today at Beverly. Nice hospital. Union so base salary for new grad is 26.00 with 6.00 shift diff for weekend/nights, but they are hiring.

Winchester will hire in the spring, great hospital. Holy Family will hire in spring, Melrose/Wakefield doesn't have many openings right now. Lawrence General is a big hospital you might find openings there. Good Luck.

Winchester hires twice a year, February and June. They 1st hire those CNA's currently employed at their hospital. Their HR dept. is a tough nut to crack. Good luck!
