Job Description:
Join a dedicated medical telemetry nursing team on a 13-week contract at Memorial Glenwood in Chattanooga. This role involves providing specialized care for patients with cardiac conditions, including congestive heart failure, while working 12-hour night shifts. You’ll be responsible for monitoring ECG strips, managing medication drips such as amiodarone and heparin, and responding to various cardiac needs. The unit operates with a nurse-to-patient ratio of 1:5 during the day and 1:6 at night, with a focus on precision and attentive care. Your skills in cardiac telemetry and drip management will shine here, with a chance to work in an environment that values hands-on expertise without the need to manage respiratory equipment beyond troubleshooting.

Plus, enjoy the unique rhythm of night shifts in a vibrant city that offers more than just work. Consider this an opportunity to deepen your cardiac nursing skills in a supportive setting that appreciates your dedication and readiness to float as needed.
