What are the responsibilities and job description for the RN, Home Hospital, South/West Region position at Partners Healthcare?
Site: Mass General Brigham Home Care, Inc.
Mass General Brigham relies on a wide range of professionals, including doctors, nurses, business people, tech experts, researchers, and systems analysts to advance our mission. As a not-for-profit, we support patient care, research, teaching, and community service, striving to provide exceptional care. We believe that high-performing teams drive groundbreaking medical discoveries and invite all applicants to join us and experience what it means to be part of Mass General Brigham.
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 South/West Region, including Boston and its residential areas, as well as Framingham, Natick, Newton, Dedham, Quincy, Sharon, and nearby communities.
Who You'll Care For
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.
Job Summary
What We Do
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.
