Excellent Care to Patients and Families

  • The Best Staff
  • In the Safest Environment

Staff Nurse - 40hr Variable Day - BWH Research Neurology

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 healthcare, we have also transformed healthcare 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 healthcare 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. If you want an enormously fulfilling career, there’s no better place to be.

The Center for Brain/Mind Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) specializes in navigating the complex cognitive, behavioral, and social challenges that accompany changes to the brain and mind due to neurologic injury or disease. Our mission is to help individuals with neurologic and neuropsychiatric conditions live full and meaningful lives. We are seeking to hire a nurse who has a strong interest in providing care navigation for longitudinal patients who have progressive neurodegenerative conditions with dynamic care needs throughout the evolution of their illness.

Principal Duties And Responsibilities

  • Delivering patient-centered care in the Cognitive Neurology Clinic through direct communication with patients and caregivers.
  • Engaging family members and others interacting with patients to assess and navigate changes in medical conditions, symptom management, and medications.
  • Participating in obtaining pertinent clinical data from patients and caregivers prior to and during clinic visits.
  • Collaborating in providing patients and caregivers informational materials specific to their diagnosis, stage, and needs.
  • Ensuring smooth execution of plan elements including completion of labs and studies, obtaining prescribed medications and pertinent education, connection with referral resources, and scheduling of return visits.
  • Communicating with patients and caregivers between visits, both to follow up on pertinent elements of plan (e.g., response to medication, compliance with behavioral and other non-pharmacological recommendations) and to address unexpected issues (with support from MD).
  • Communicating with other care team providers within and outside BWH/MGB, including but not limited to, geriatric psychiatry, neuropsychiatry, neuropsychology, social work, other neurological and medical sub-specialties.
  • Interfacing with the MGB Alzheimer Therapeutic Program (ATP), our program for delivering new disease modifying therapeutics to patients with Alzheimer disease, to ensure seamless care across clinics.
  • Interfacing with the BWH Center for Alzheimer Research and Treatment and the Massachusetts Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center to promote engagement with research studies, where appropriate.
  • 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.

    • Minimum of 2 years of recent (within the past 6 months) clinical nursing experience in an Ambulatory Clinic/Practice setting is required. Experience only in an ambulatory procedural area or ED is not sufficient.

    • Recent experience with telephone or video-based and/or in-person clinical assessment techniques is required. (This is the safe, effective, and appropriate disposition of health-related problems and includes: assessing the severity of symptoms, communicating urgent patient needs to the LIP, referral to the appropriate setting or level of care, documenting interventions, and an individualized plan of care using an EMR, education of patients and families on their disease process and interventions to promote health and well-being, preliminary interpretation of data, providing home health advice and follow-up, ability to make triage decisions quickly and calmly in emergencies, and assuring continuity of care.)
    • Clinical Research experience preferred.
