More about The McLean Hospital Corporation
The work is mental health nursing: Recovery Oriented Framework, barcode medication administration, point-of-care testing, de-escalation, group leadership, and direction of Mental Health Specialists on units such as Older Adult, Pavilion, Community Reintegration, General Adult, and Alcohol & Drug treatment. If you are early in your license, some RN postings list 0–1 year of clinical experience and read as open to recent graduates (ADN required, BSN preferred), including a full-time path tied to Middleborough. If you want flexibility, Pavilion has posted per-diem RN shifts. Psych experience is treated as a plus, not a locked gate on every line. Belmont itself is quiet and residential—Fitchburg Line stops at Belmont Center and Waverley Square, roughly 15–20 minutes into North Station, or a short drive toward Boston on Route 2. What you will not find clearly published here is an employer-stated RN pay band; only wide third-party estimates show up, so you will need to ask during the process.
Not-for-profit supporting patient care, research, teaching, and community service; diversity and inclusion named as core values; care framed around a Recovery Oriented Framework.
