Excellent Care to Patients and Families • The Best Staff • In the Safest Environment

Nursing at Brigham and Women's Hospital is known for their excellent clinical practice and for keeping patients and their families at the center of all they do. We understand that great care is shaped by relationships with patients and their families. That's why we're committed to knowing our patients on a deeper level - not just as patients, but as individuals - to ensure that they, and their families, feel known and cared for.

At BWH, we proudly work together with a spirit of inquiry and a deep commitment to providing the highest quality, evidence-informed, and theory-guided care in an inclusive environment. We work each day to achieve our vision - to provide excellent care to patients and families, with the best staff, in the safest environment.

Just as we have been able to reinvent health care, we have also transformed health care careers. Whether measured in terms of lives saved, awards earned, or the personal satisfaction of stretching your talents - a career with BWH is unlike any other in the health care field. Here you'll find a workplace where collaboration and teamwork are the norm, not the exception - physicians, nurses, technicians, staff, and management form a close-knit bond, based on mutual respect and devotion to our patients.

  • Maintaining familiarity with department activity and a close working relationship with clinicians and support staff to provide the most appropriate triage and facilitate timely and effective communication and scheduling.
  • Participating in departmental and organizational quality management and/or quality improvement projects as directed by the leadership team.
  • Proficient use of the electronic medical record, documenting in a manner that is clear, complete, concise, and in SBAR format when appropriate to remain compliant with nursing standards.
  • Working in a normal office setting, work entails extended periods of sitting and fast-paced, phone-based care.
  • Preparing, performing, and documenting the coordination of clinical care including, but not limited to, assisting patients with medication questions, delivering lab results, and providing patient education as needed and requested.
  • Working collaboratively to provide excellent care to patients and families in the safest environment.
  • Other duties as assigned by the supervising physician or leadership team.
