Telemetry Nurse (TELE RN)

Telemetry Rn's

Telemetry RN's monitor patients' vital signs by reading and analyzing an electrocardiogram, or another life sign-measuring device. Tele RN's are required for post-ICU care.

Tele RN's care for patients who are out of the ICU, but need their vital signs monitored closely (after surgery, for example).
