Telemetry Nursing, also referred to as Progressive Care Nursing, focuses solely on the monitoring of cardiac patients. These nurses are highly trained in using the latest electrocardiogram (EKG/ECG) and telemedicine technology and are experts at identifying potentially dangerous heart rhythms.
Because cardiac patients are typically high-risk individuals, Telemetry Nurses need to be able to assess and respond to a patient’s vitals as quickly and efficiently as possible. This makes for a fast-paced work environment suitable for natural problem solvers.
