15. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    BettyBoop01 replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I think less than 12 bucks an hour is offensive. That being said, they will most definately fill every spot because of the new grad glut in Massachusetts. I bet it will be really competative too and...
