Job description

Job Overview

Your job is more than a job. Telemetry nursing is the heartbeat of cardio/pulmonary recovery. Your quick‑thinking, problem‑solving capabilities with a big dose of “let me hold your hand while I analyze what’s going on with your monitor” kind of nursing, are what sets you apart. While medical devices, data, and drips get your brain going, you also understand telemetry nursing is so much more than just monitoring heart rhythms, ECGs, arrhythmias, and intervening in emergency situations. It’s where the scientific part of your brain leans on the emotional side to bring every nursing skill you’ve got to your patients.
