RN: Telemetry

Job Description:

This 13-week travel assignment is for an RN supporting a cardiac telemetry unit on 12-hour night shifts. You will care for patients recovering from cardiac procedures, including post-cardiac catheterization and pacemaker patients, as well as those managing CHF, COPD, arrhythmias, or awaiting a CABG consultation. The role includes reading cardiac strips, completing admissions and discharges, performing EKGs as needed, and titrating heparin when ordered. Cardizem and amiodarone are set-rate drips, while Lasix or Bumex may occasionally require titration. The unit offers self-scheduling and may accommodate block scheduling when staffing needs are met. Travelers participate in the weekend rotation and may float to areas such as stepdown or, rarely, ICU, within their skill set.
