More about Middlesex Health

The system includes Middlesex Hospital and two cancer-center locations, with day-to-day nursing spanning bedside units, IV Therapy, hospice home care, and outpatient primary-care clinics in places like Durham and Cromwell. On the floor you chart in Epic. Scheduling depends on the role: IV Therapy RN work has been posted as days, 24 hours a week, every other weekend; LPN clinic roles run days at 24 or 40 hours, with the chance you get reassigned to another MMG office when staffing is tight. Night-shift RN recruiting has advertised a $15,000 sign-on, and shift differentials show up in posting language. Growth support is concrete—tuition reimbursement, continuing-education help, student-loan relief through Fiducius, plus a clinical ladder and shared governance. Coworkers often get credit for strong teamwork. The honest tradeoff is workload: nurses describe high ratios and call-offs that make some shifts heavier than the schedule suggests.

Six-time Magnet organization with shared governance and a clinical ladder for nurses; member of the Mayo Clinic Care Network.
