Pros
Paid well when I first started. There are a lot of other travelers so they know the vibes. It’s a teaching hospital which could be a pro and a con. A lot of the surgeons are used to teaching so they’re almost all pretty chill although there’s a few rude ones.
Cons
Expensive city, hard to find housing, expensive parking at the hospital, awful hours (no 3/12s or 5/8s), don’t get placed in rooms a lot of the time and when you do they will put you in cases that aren’t on your skills check list and they will shame you for it instead of utilizing you where you’re proficient. The charges are mostly rude except for a few, the hospital is EXTREMELY unorganized, and no one at the desk knows how to book/schedule cases so it makes every day really stressful and complicated for no reason. Management will straight up lie to your face, and if you work hard, are well liked by surgeons and your coworkers, and do your job correctly, they will resent you for it. For staff and travelers, the management and charges are set on making you miserable for some reason. Most people expect their behavior is union busting tactics, but travelers and scuba are not part of the union, so I’m convinced it’s because they’re all burnt out and a little bit miserable. Just another money focused hospital that doesn’t much care about patient safety. It’s dirty, there’s rats, flies, dirty fridges and because it’s a teaching hospital you have to be hyper vigilant about aseptic technique because no one else in the room much cares if everything is sterile.

About
Despite being the largest city in New England, Boston is relatively compact and highly navigable, making it easy to explore. It boasts an astounding number of historic sites and a wide range of other attractions. The birthplace of the American Revolution, it's a great place to learn about Colonial history in a way that's much more interesting than reading a textbook. Follow the 2.5-mile-long Freedom Trail that connects several sites, starting from Boston Commons, the country's oldest city park. Marked by a red stripe, the trail travels through the city's most historic neighborhoods, including downtown and the North End, concluding at the Charlestown waterfront. Plenty of modern delights also await, from whale-watching tours and exploring the Institute of Contemporary Art in the South Boston waterfront area to catching a Red Sox game at legendary Fenway Park.
