Telemetry

Cardiac Telemetry RN – Night Shift

The Opportunity

The facility's cardiac and stroke unit is seeking an experienced RN for night shifts (18:45–07:15). This is a fast-paced telemetry unit managing high-acuity cardiac and stroke patients with high patient turnover—expect to care for 78–90 patients weekly across your assignment.

What You'll Do

You'll provide direct care to stable post-procedure cardiac patients (pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, cardiac catheterization), post-stroke patients (CVA, TIA), and patients with dysrhythmias, unstable angina, and heart failure. Your responsibilities include:

• IV starts and telemetry monitoring
• Titration of cardiac drips (Cardizem, Dopamine, Amiodarone)
• Management of temporary pacing, TR bands, and post-interventional care
• Non-invasive airway support and oxygen administration
• Care for COVID-positive patients on high-flow oxygen and BIPAP (chronic use only)

A team lead assists with admissions and discharges to support workflow.

Key Requirements

• Minimum 2 years in a high-acuity cardiac unit
• ACLS, BLS, and NIHSS certifications (EKG testing required prior to start)

• Float required; call-in based on census
• Every other weekend; 2 Mondays and 2 Fridays per 6-week cycle

Contract Details

• 19 weeks
• 36-hour orientation (mandatory daily attendance first week)
• Self-scheduling with leadership oversight
• Flu vaccine required (medical/religious exemptions accepted)

Uniform: Navy blue or white scrubs (no crocs with holes).

First-time travelers and local candidates welcome.
