We're looking for Telemetry RNs for an immediate travel nurse opening in Highlands, NC. The right RN should have 1-2 years' recent acute care experience.

As a TELE Travel Nurse, you will provide care by connecting patients to machines that measure heart rate, blood pressure, breathing rate, as well as blood-oxygen levels and electrocardiogram information. These machines then send data to computer screens for RNs to monitor. Telemetry RNs read and interpret the data to better determine patient care.

Responsibilities include:

• Monitor and adjust specialized equipment used on patients, and interpret and record electronic displays.
• Identify irregular telemetry readings and notify appropriate medical team members.
• Initiate corrective action whenever information from monitoring equipment shows adverse symptomatology.
• Provide basic bedside care.

Additional requirements include:

• Ability to stand and walk for long periods of time, as well as bend, lean and stoop without difficulty.
• Ability to easily lift 20 pounds.
• Moving or lifting of patients may require lifting of up to 50 pounds at times.
• Specific vision abilities including close vision, distance vision, color vision, peripheral vision, depth perception and ability to adjust focus.

Requirements: ACLS, BLS, CPI, 1 Year

Note: Additional certifications may be required before beginning an assignment.
