About The Position

The position to which you are applying is represented by a collective bargaining unit, Massachusetts Nurses Association. Join a team that is redefining how acute care is delivered. As part of the Mass General Brigham Home Hospital program, you’ll provide hospital-level care directly in the patient’s home—offering comfort, dignity, and personalized attention while helping reduce hospital stays and improve outcomes. This role offers the best of both worlds: the autonomy of community-based nursing and the clinical challenge of caring for patients with acute, inpatient-level needs. You’ll work with a supportive interdisciplinary team and participate in innovative care models designed to improve access, quality, and patient experience. This is a full-time, 36-hour position (8:00am–8:30pm). We use a self-scheduling model created typically six weeks in advance, and we follow an every-third-weekend rotation. This position supports patients across the North Region, including Beverly, Salem, Peabody, Lynn, Melrose, Medford, Somerville, Lexington, and the surrounding communities based on daily patient needs. We provide hospital-level care for a diverse adult patient population, including those with: Acute medical conditions such as heart failure, COPD exacerbations, pneumonia, cellulitis, or dehydration. Post-ED or post-hospitalization needs requiring short-term, skilled monitoring. Infections requiring IV therapies, including antibiotics and fluid management. Chronic disease exacerbations needing rapid assessment and stabilization. Diagnostic follow-up, remote monitoring, and daily clinical oversight. You’ll deliver care traditionally provided in an inpatient setting—right in the patient’s home. We typically care for up to five patients a day. We start and end our day with virtual team rounds so we can stay connected and aligned. Throughout the day, we communicate regularly to support patient needs, coordinate care, and ensure continuity.
