What Nurses at BWH are Saying:

Anne

"I chose Brigham because it provided more opportunities for what I'm looking for: challenging work, the ability to participate in councils eager to hear her opinions, collaboration between nurses and other healthcare professionals, and training opportunities that are second to none."

Kareema

"Despite the intensely technical nature of her profession, however, Kareema knows that nursing is about more than study, procedure and technology.'It's important,' Kareema says, 'to look beyond all the monitors and tubes and see the person behind it.'"

Robert

Robert's advice for those interested in the Brigham: "Go directly to the hospital and see the people. You get a first hand look at what the place is going to be like."

Robert is confident that, once you visit, you'll agree that Brigham and Women's Hospital offers "so many opportunities … down the line, I could do anything."
