Maine Medical Center is Hiring Clinical Nurses
Thursday, September 17, 2009
Maine Medical Center fills a dual role: it is Maine’s premier referral hospital, offering services not available elsewhere in the state, and it is a community hospital serving the greater Portland region. Right in your own backyard is one of the country’s consistently highest rated hospitals. MMC was rated the fourth safest hospital in the U.S. And our nursing staff was recently rated in the top 3% in the world for nursing excellence. Which just proves what we’ve always known - in Maine, the grass is greener on both sides of the street.
