3 nurses recommend working with Portsmouth Regional Hospital
Pros
One of the best group of girls I've ever worked with, both nurses and doctors. The doctors actually treat you like a coworker and not just someone who is way beneath them. I didn't love the hospital itself but the staff made every shift worth it.
Cons
Cost of living was wayyyy too high and the pay was way too low to be able to stay there for more than one contract. I would've kept extending if I could've afforded it. They also use meditech which is TRASH.
