Job Description

Boston Medical Center is the largest safety net hospital in New England. Our hospital reflects the rich racial and ethnic diversity of Boston and its surrounding communities. We proudly serve greater than 70% of patients that are from low-income and under-resourced communities.

Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine is a top-ranked educational and research institution. We are recruiting two full-time cardiology nurse practitioners and are seeking dedicated, experienced, and motivated advanced practice providers to join our collaborative, multidisciplinary cardiology team.

Job Title

Heart Failure Nurse Practitioner (HF NP) & IV Infusion Nurse Practitioner (IV NP)

HF NP

Duties will focus on comprehensive management of heart failure patients in the outpatient clinic, coordinate patient education, and perform intensive phone triage. This includes telephone-based assessment and management of urgent heart failure-related concerns, offering guidance on symptom management, medication adjustments, and urgent care needs to help reduce hospital readmissions.

IV NP

Duties include clinical management of cardiology patients receiving intravenous and subcutaneous therapies in an outpatient cardiology clinic, infusion suite/clinic, or hospital-based setting. This role involves providing direct patient care in collaboration with cardiologists, NPs, and cardiology pharmacists.

The IV NP will be initiating and managing IV infusion treatments, monitoring patient responses, and coordinating ongoing cardiovascular care.

The IV NP will triage cardiology-related consultation infusion requests from the Emergency Department, outpatient clinics, and inpatient teams and help determine appropriate outpatient follow-up or HF infusion clinic care.

The IV NP will also support patients receiving advanced treatments such as subcutaneous therapies for amyloid cardiomyopathy and other cardiology related infusion therapies. Outpatient clinic sessions may be incorporated on days that infusions are not scheduled.

Key Responsibilities

The Heart Failure Nurse Practitioner will focus on comprehensive management of heart failure patients in the outpatient clinic, including education and intensive phone triage to manage urgent concerns and reduce readmissions. The IV Nurse Practitioner will manage cardiology patients receiving intravenous and subcutaneous therapies in outpatient or hospital settings, initiating treatments and triaging consultation infusion requests.

Requirements

Applicants must possess strong clinical judgment and the ability to manage patients autonomously within defined protocols, including care coordination and interpreting diagnostic tests. The nurse practitioner must be licensed to practice in Massachusetts, with prior cardiology and heart failure clinical experience being preferred.
