Nursing Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a nursing in Massachusetts?

To work as a registered nurse in Massachusetts, you must hold a nursing degree from an accredited program and pass the NCLEX-RN exam, then apply for licensure through the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Nursing. Licensed practical nurses follow the same path with the NCLEX-PN. Massachusetts participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact, so nurses holding a compact license from another compact state may work in Massachusetts without obtaining a separate state license.

How much do nursings make in Massachusetts?

Nursings in Massachusetts earn a median of about $46,680 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $39,380 for the lowest 10% to over $57,880 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire nursings in Massachusetts?

Employers hiring nursings in Massachusetts right now include Beth Israel Lahey Health, Tufts Medical Center, and Fiber Hire, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Massachusetts's dense network of academic medical centers and regional hospital systems means large, established employers account for a significant share of open positions across the state.

Which Massachusetts cities have the most nursing jobs?

The Massachusetts cities with the most nursing openings are Boston, Worcester, and Salem. Boston's concentration of world-renowned academic medical centers and research hospitals drives the highest volume of postings, while Worcester and Springfield reflect the strong regional health systems, community hospitals, and outpatient networks that anchor those metro areas.

Are there remote nursing jobs in Massachusetts?

Yes, but they're rare. Nursing is a hands-on clinical role, so the vast majority of positions require on-site work at a hospital, clinic, or care facility. About 0% of nursing openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, with those positions typically concentrated in utilization review, case management, and telehealth triage roles.

How can I get hired as a nursing in Massachusetts with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is a new graduate residency program, which most large Massachusetts hospital systems run specifically for nurses who lack clinical experience. Mass General Brigham, Boston Children's Hospital, and UMass Memorial Health all operate structured new-grad residencies that provide mentored transitions into specialty units. Applying for positions as a patient care technician or certified nursing assistant first can also open the door, and completing your NCLEX quickly after graduation strengthens your candidacy significantly.

Where can I find and apply to nursing jobs in Massachusetts?

You can find and apply to nursing jobs in Massachusetts on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring in the state right now. Search the listings to find roles that match your specialty, experience level, and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
