The role of a Med Surg Telemetry RN is critical in the healthcare setting, providing an essential bridge between general medical-surgical care and specialized cardiac observation. As a Med Surg Telemetry Registered Nurse, you will deliver direct patient care to individuals who require close cardiac monitoring, but who do not need the high-intensity oversight of an intensive care unit. This position is ideal for professionals seeking to apply their expertise in both medical-surgical and telemetry nursing, ensuring the safety and wellbeing of patients with stable yet at-risk heart conditions.
In this full-time Med Surg Telemetry RN position, you will work closely with a team of dedicated healthcare professionals in a supportive environment, providing essential care and interventions for patients experiencing a range of cardiac and medical-surgical needs. You will be responsible for performing comprehensive patient assessments, administering cardiac medications, and interpreting EKG and telemetry data to promptly identify and respond to arrhythmias and other cardiac concerns. Your ability to coordinate care, communicate effectively with physicians and multidisciplinary teams, and educate patients and their families about ongoing care is fundamental to the success of each patient's recovery process.
The Med Surg Telemetry RN role also involves floating to other relevant departments, such as the medical-surgical unit, as needed. This flexibility ensures that you are exposed to a variety of patient cases and care settings, broadening your clinical skills and experience. Your thorough documentation of patient care interventions, medication administration, and responses to treatment will be essential for maintaining high standards of care and regulatory compliance. Additionally, you will play a key role in supporting patients and families, offering education and resources to help them understand cardiac monitoring, medication management, and lifestyle modifications for optimal heart health.
As a valued member of the nursing team, you will have access to robust support systems and resources, including medical, dental, and vision insurance through national carriers, pet insurance, and weekly pay. The organization provides a 401(k) retirement plan with optional employer matching, direct deposit payroll, and W-2 processing, ensuring your financial wellness and security. Employee assistance programs are available to support mental health and overall wellness, and an online employee portal allows for convenient access to pay stubs, benefits enrollment, and important HR documents.
Working as a Med Surg Telemetry RN offers significant opportunities for professional growth and advancement. The dynamic environment requires ongoing learning and adaptation, and you will be encouraged to pursue additional certifications and continuing education to deepen your expertise in telemetry and medical-surgical nursing. The organization is committed to fostering an inclusive, equitable workplace that values diversity and supports the unique contributions of every employee.
