This place loves to emphasize that they treat "Minorities" however, they do not like to hire minorities in higher positions. You'll have no problem finding a Black or Latina nurse working on a med surge floor, but they seem to be missing when it comes to higher-level floors such as ED, ICU, and even L&D. Why are there so many White women who aren't even from the surrounding neighborhoods treating the patient population that they've never had any interactions with beyond in a healthcare setting? They will hire a White nurse from suburban mass with an ADN faster than they'd hire a Black woman who speaks Spanish, has her BSN, and is from Dorchester. Then they'll be surprised when little Becky cannot handle the patient population and leaves them for a hospital like MGH after their contract is over. Or she'll realize the pay is too good, and stay on as a bitter, barely competent nurse who hates treating the population she so desperately wanted to serve coming out of school. White nurses and HR are the gatekeepers, and they're responsible for this. They get their White friends and family members in here who don't even believe in the mission, they just want the $$$.
