About

My name is Jonathan Murphy and I am a 31-year-old Staff Nurse working on the Inpatient Psychiatry Service at Boston Children's Hospital. In 2014 I graduated from UMass Boston with a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing. Now I look forward to Spring 2017 when I graduate from Boston College as a Master's prepared Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I am excited about working very closely with psychiatric patients and families for many years so come.
