Saint Vincent Hospital

On the RN-ICU side, posted wages run $34.37–$70.88 an hour, and eligible nurses can see a sign-on bonus up to $25,000. The role is direct clinical care, staff supervision, and care coordination on a union floor represented by the MNA. If you’re new, the hospital advertises New Grad RN and Extern programs, with hiring noted for Cardiac and Med Surg among other units. Day to day, some nurses describe flexible scheduling and solid coworkers; others describe understaffing, ratios that feel unsafe, and pay that lags the workload and regional competitors. Overtime is available if you want it. Practical notes from the floor include covered parking and a monthly Better Together recognition award tied to CARE values—Compassion, Acting with integrity, Results, Embracing inclusiveness. The recent history matters here: about 800 nurses struck from March 2021 to January 2022 over staffing, then ratified a contract that included raises and staffing measures. You’ll decide whether the posted ICU pay, union structure, and Worcester base fit how you want to practice.

CARE values: Compassion, Acting with integrity, Results, Embracing inclusiveness; monthly Better Together Team Member Recognition Award.
