• per mgr: VMU is a telemetry unit so the dysrhythmia exam would be required. Just for clarification, the VMU is a med/surg/telemetry unit for inpatients that may have a behavioral health component and require additional safety monitoring. We are not a psych unit.

NOTE - SIMs lab is pass/fail & nurses have been termed during SIMs Lab for breaking sterile field. Those travelers that understand sterile field typically pass SIMs Lab skills (See separate notes for the specific checklist IF traveler asks for additional details). The hospital expects that every nurse is competent in these areas, especially maintaining sterile field, as these are nursing skills that are performed frequently. In addition to SIMs Lab, they will also go through lifts, restraints, & wound care, but these are just educational based since the equipment & policies can be different facility to facility.

We are a MedSurg/Tele Unit that specializes in patients with Mental illness. Psychiatric experience is preferred, but certainly not a requirement. I am much more interested in their MedSurg/Tele skills and whether or not the candidate has a desire to work with the mentally ill
