Beth Israel Lahey Health

Lahey sits inside the larger Beth Israel Lahey Health network of 14 hospitals, with UMass Chan affiliation and faculty ties to Harvard and Boston University. If you are new, the Beverly and Addison Gilbert Hospitals Nurse Residency (ANCC PTAP) gives you classroom and simulation time, then roughly twelve weeks of unit orientation with a preceptor, clinical educator, nurse manager, and a mentoring track. Tuition assistance, scholarships, loan forgiveness, an RN Preceptor Incentive Program, and a clinical ladder are on the books. Scheduling is described as flexible, with no mandatory overtime at Lahey; SICU/CTICU posts run 24 or 36 hours with every-third-weekend and holiday rotation, while weekend patterns on other floors vary. Posted RN hourly ranges across the system often land from the mid-$30s into the $90s depending on unit and site. Nurses on review sites put the place in the mid-to-high threes, praise teams and PTO, and also flag heavy workload and management support that changes floor to floor—so which unit you join matters.
