About the Job

• A convenient imaging suite, a pharmacy, a fast-track area and a behavioral health suite
• Private treatment rooms, a special family waiting area and a family consultation room

As the Lahey Emergency Department grows, we are seeking experienced and qualified nurses for our new ED. The experienced and highly skilled nurses in the ED provide care to patient that have been in accidents or have medical emergencies that need immediate attention. There is nothing our ED Nurse can’t do. We do a great job of taking care of really sick patients. Because of Lahey’s transplant service, cardiology service and cancer center, a lot of patients are already compromised. If these patients develop a stomach bug, it can represent a true emergency; the ED pulls a team together to make sure these patients are stable before they are admitted.

Lahey Hospital & Medical Center utilizes EPIC for computerized charting and medication administration.
