Once nurses join our family, they don’t leave! There is something here for everyone.
At Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, you’ll hear it over and over: “We love coming to work.” Maybe it’s the friendly culture between nurses and physicians or the commitment to clinical excellence and patient safety. Maybe it’s just something about the ocean air.
Nurses at Wentworth-Douglass feel pride in knowing they work for the Seacoast’s leading medical center. Wentworth-Douglass is a not-for-profit charitable health care organization and a subsidiary of Massachusetts General Hospital. We are also a Magnet®-recognized hospital.
