RN - MS Tele

RN II - MST / Medical Telemetry

This position is for a registered nurse specializing in telemetry. The unit has 30 beds organized in three 10-bed units. The nurse-to-patient ratio is 1:5-6. Common diagnoses include surgical cases such as total hip and knee replacements, small bowel resections, and hysterectomies. Medical cases include MRSA, C. diff infections, and COPD among others. Nurses will need to care for stable C-PAP or Bi-PAP patients. Remote Monitor Technicians are available, but RNs must be able to read their telemetry strips. Nurses will work 12-hour shifts from either 0700 to 1900 or 1930 to 0730. There is a requirement to work every other weekend and participate in a holiday rotation. No titration of drips is required. If not enough nurse aides are available, RNs may take on three patients. Nurses will rotate into care for adult MST patients and may float to other departments as necessary. Currently, any scrub color is acceptable except camouflage. Orientation will include hospital-wide and unit-specific training based on experience. Nurses may be required to precept nursing students.
