For Nurses

Nursing care you can trust

Whether you're having a baby, going through surgery or dealing with a long-term health issue, our nurses are by your side to help. We've got a team of dedicated professionals who work across different areas of the hospital to provide evidence-based care that's all about you and your family. Plus, we know that healthcare doesn't stop when you leave the hospital. That's why our nurses will be there to help you manage your medications, give you health tips and make sure you're doing well at home. We're your partners in health, and we're here to help you succeed.

We will support and advocate for you while you receive hospice, get a physical, stay in the hospital or feel lousy.
Our nurses are at the top of their profession, bringing you and your loved ones the highest level of care. When you receive care in our community hospitals, your home, hospice or our academic medical center, you can be sure that your Tufts Medicine nursing team will treat you with compassion and respect.

Mission, Vision + Values

Our mission, vision and values are our guiding light. Together, we bring them to life with our care, our actions, our learning and our commitment to excellence.
