“What sets us apart is the fact that we are a caring institution that puts patient safety and care as our Number 1 priority, and we also care about staff. The environment is friendly and professional, which adds up to a feeling of family. It's the best place I've ever worked.“
“The hospital provides us with great balance between work and personal life. South Shore Hospital is small enough to give that caring, community feeling, but is one of the busiest hospital settings in the state, so it provides exciting experiences, has leaders in science and offers cutting edge protocols.“
“At SSHS, the staff is supported by great orientation, educational opportunities and the chance to further your education. I started as a Staff Nurse and now work as a Clinical Coordinator. I also enrolled in the MSN program and received a master's degree in Nursing Administration.“
