Registered Nurse - Acute Telemetry

Telemetry is a 36-bed unit that consists of all private rooms. The unit provides continuous cardiac monitoring and continuous pulse oximetry for all patients. Patients admitted to Telemetry have a cardiac medical or surgical diagnosis including those that are requiring cardiac catheterization for intervention and/or diagnostic tests. The unit is a dynamic and fast-paced environment rich with opportunity for learning and growing.

The heartbeat of Telemetry is teamwork to provide patient-centered care and a healthy work environment that allows the staff to thrive and grow personally and professionally.
