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.

Full-time (40 hrs) 3-13-hour shifts plus one hour of education every week. Shifts are 6am-7pm and 6pm-7am with one hour overlap for sign out and to sort out pending patient care issues.

Ellison 14 ICU patient populations are adult complex surgical patients including burns along with acutely ill medical patients (i.e. both SICU and MICU-type patients). While Ellison 14 is the official ‘Burn ICU’ at MGH and has a storied history of caring for critically ill burn patients, currently, thermal burns constitute a minority of our patients (<10%).

Ellison 14 ICU has a ‘closed ICU’ model. All patients on the unit are cared for by the same team. Our APPs are the primary ICU care providers, supported by admitting surgical teams and consultants. Our multispecialty care team model, in-line with other ICUs at MGB, is based on responding clinicians (APPs and residents) supervised by 24/7 in-house attending ICU staff physicians and supported by critical care fellows.

The job includes, but is not limited to critical care interventions, intensive care monitoring, diagnosing and prescribing treatments, therapeutics, and medications, coordinating referrals and discharging patients from the ICU. We emphasize and expect responsible, collaborative decision-making from our APPs, within their full scope of supervised practice. We encourage procedural excellence.

In collaboration with a multidisciplinary care team, they would be responsible for establishing, implementing, and evaluating the ICU course of treatment and the coordination and communication of the treatment plan. The APP will have a key role in patient and family teaching, while promoting competent, compassionate nursing care for patients and relatives. They will serve as a role model for professional nursing practice.
All new hires go through a detailed on-boarding experience and several weeks-long orientation at MGH ICUs tailored to their background and prior experience.

Minimum Qualifications:
• 1-3 years of full-time ICU APP experience, preferred
• 2 or more years of full-time critical care RN experience PLUS graduation from an Acute Care NP program, required

MGH Benefits:
• Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance

• Access to childcare resources and emergency backup care
• 403(b), Cash Balance Retirement Plan, and Tax-Sheltered Annuity options
