Description
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. If you want an enormously
fulfilling career, there's no better place to be.
