      Pays well. Close to home.

      Cons

      Limited scope of practice for Medical Assistants. Hours are not flexible.

      Advice to Management

      More training and supervision of new employees is needed. Train everyone on everything, not just a select few, it creates an environment of favoritism.

      Pros

      Generous pay differential, liked the people I worked with

      Cons

      Management has no idea what is going on when it comes to floor nursing and patient satisfaction. They don’t seem to care about floor nurses and only want to make sure the patients are happy. They expect nurses to do more and more with less resources. People are getting burnt out and leaving, turnover is extremely high.

      Advice to Management

      Management keeps changing. Every day It seems like we have a new CEO. Listen to your nurses and other staff!

      I worked at Lahey Hospital & Medical Center part-time

      Pros

      Patient ratios were appropriate and fair compared to other hospitals I've worked where the average was 5:1 and could be 6:1. Day shift at this faculty was generally 4:1.

      Cons

      Communication between physicians and nursing could be much better and interdisciplinary team. I also was not impressed by how daily reports were given and the time it took to get them (as a float nurse working on all inpatient units), this was a problem across the entire hospital.

      Advice to Management

      Take some time observing/visiting other hospital systems (that uphold magnet status).

      Pros

      There is not a single one.

      Cons

      Management is awful. Micromanagement of good employees and nothing done about bad employees. Supervisors do not have a clue about how to do employees jobs. Low morale. No work/life balance.

      Advice to Management

      Listen to your employees!
