Fuller Hospital

The hospital serves adults with general psychiatric or intellectual disabilities, as well as adolescents with general psychiatric issues. Patients with co-occurring psychiatric and substance abuse disorders can be treated on most units. Fuller Hospital also operates a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and notably runs Massachusetts's only inpatient unit for adults with intellectual disabilities. As a full-service behavioral health center, the facility offers a continuum of care that includes assessments, community-based care, day treatment, and inpatient hospitalization. The multidisciplinary staff is trained to handle mental health crises and co-occurring addiction disorders. For nurses, Fuller Hospital offers opportunities in psychiatric and behavioral health nursing with positions available on evening and overnight shifts. The hospital actively recruits new graduate RNs and offers sign-on bonuses for overnight shifts, indicating a need for nursing staff in those time slots. The work environment is focused on behavioral health, requiring nurses comfortable with psychiatric patient populations and crisis intervention.
