Dartmouth Hitchcock? Wentworth Douglas is now part of Mass General Brigham. As a patient, that’s my choice.

I was interested in WDH but they did not have an opening on the unit I want! I've heard great things though!!

That's where I go if I have a choice. I'm surprised they don't have openings. I thought there were openings everywhere in healthcare right now.

What kind of nursing do you want to do?

110% emergency nursing!

Well, I don’t know about the emergency room but I know that Dartmouth Hitchcock is experiencing a very serious nursing shortage in quite a few departments, I know quite a few people who absolutely love working there and the Upper Valley is an incredibly lovely place to live.

Housing is a tough situation in the area but it’s pretty much like that everywhere so…

DHMC has DHART which you might get into there.

We had a good experience at the Elliot when my mom fell. Only the trauma ortho there was willing to do the surgery (after bouncing around to 3 other ortho people in the area) and did a fantastic job.

Not the Elliot unless you believe people with mental illness should be abused.

What’s your level of experience in emergency med? If you’re good to jump right in then go right for the bigger names, if you’re newer consider a smaller and more remote ER.

WD inpatient wonderful, ED awful experiences every time. They have repeatedly turned me away and minimized symptoms that are serious and have then resulted in health crises and being admitted, having surgery, etc. and worst of all staying sick or in pain. I love every other type of service and care offered at WD but their ER just seems to really be a different story unfortunately, imo.

Far from it- been in the area for a decade and never had a positive ED experience yet. Urgent care hit or miss. Lol at whoever downvoted me for experiencing my own experience 🙄

I work at DHMC, not as a nurse. It's a really great institution to work for and is HURTING for nurses. It's also the only level 1 trauma center in NH if that's what you're looking for.
