Hi everyone!

I’m a new grad starting at BIDMC Boston in a vascular surgery unit next month. I wanted to ask for any helpful tips or any info working at this hospital, this type of unit, or even how to prep as a new grad in general. Anything will help from your experience! I’ve done a clinical rotation and my preceptorship here during nursing school so i am somewhat familiar with it, but i would love to know more.

Also, feel free to add anything you know about how the benefits package works and what the differentials are for night/evening/weekend shift. I am supposed to meet with HR soon to discuss all this but just wanted to get a head start on this info. Thank you so much in advance!

Hey how is your new position so far? I am so happy to hear they have offered you a job as a new grad. That's great news. You must have had a leg up with preceptorship there, congrats !

It’s going well! My unit is “medsurg” but it focuses on mainly vascular surgery, whipples, and bariatric surgery and then the random overflows of Thoracic and Ortho patients. There’s def a lot to learn as a new grad and as a nurse everyday. I do feel anxious going into work every day just because our unit can get so crazy busy so i don’t know what i’m walking into lol, but also because i’m new too! I also prefer night shifts over day shifts, i’m being considered to be switch over to permanent nights! :)

Nights sound like a good idea, is that because you have more time to yourself to get into your own groove, time to think ect ? I am researching hospitals now to who hire new grads. I graduate in July from an accelerated program in Savannah, GA and Boston is 100% my destination! ?
