What to ask
- How is base pay set for the role, and which differentials apply?
- Which shifts are open, and what are the weekend, holiday and call rules?
- How long is orientation, and will I have one preceptor?
- What is the usual patient load, and how often do nurses float?
Living in Salem, MA
Located 16 miles north of Boston, Salem pairs seaside living with a direct 30-minute MBTA rail commute into North Station. Relocating nurses can settle into historic Federal homes near Salem Common or Derby Street Waterfront, unwinding post-shift at Salem Willows or Odd Meter Coffee. Just plan ahead for intense autumn tourist gridlock and strict October resident parking.
