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 Burlington, MA
Twelve miles outside Boston along Route 128, Burlington offers nurses seamless suburban convenience. Commuting demands a car along the Middlesex Turnpike, but upscale mid-rises near District Avenue keep shifts close. Decompress along wooded trails in the 200-acre Mary Cummings Park or Landlocked Forest, then pick up fresh pastries at local staple LaCascia's Bakery.
