About this unit:

Cardiac Telemetry nurses assess acute changes in patients. They monitor and analyze the heart rhythm of patients, interpret ECGs, note arrhythmias, and intervene in emergency situations. They have high-level critical thinking skills, vast clinical knowledge, and are able to stay calm under pressure. Our Cardiac Telemetry unit is unique in that our nurses take care of patients recovering from open heart surgeries, heart catheterization with stent placement, ablations, pace maker/AICD placement, cardiovascular surgeries and we are a comprehensive stoke/stemi facility.

 Who are we

• Two separate 29-bed units, specializing in the care of cardiac patients

Types of patients we care for

• Acute and chronic heart failure
• Electrophysiology (pacemaker, ablation)
• Structural heart (mitral clip, TAVR, TMVR, watchmen, valve angioplasty)

What makes us special

• Research Medical Center is one of the few hospitals that care for patients receiving the TAVR procedure outside of the ICU
• Close collaboration with cardiology providers including physician-led education regarding care of cardiac patients to ensure we are providing the best evidenced-based care
• High-level nursing care for a variety of patients requiring critical care outside of the ICU

What does growth look like

Working in the cardiac progressive care units is a great way to build your critical thinking and skills. Nurses from our departments grow into areas such as ICU, cardiac cath lab, EP lab, or leadership. The leaders of these departments work with you to ensure that they understand your goals and provide you with opportunities to learn more about positions you may be interested. We work collaboratively with other departments in the facility to ease any transition you are interested in making. Typically nurses are able to successfully progress to other positions or departments in 18 to 24 months. No matter what your goal is, your leader will take an active approach to help you achieve it.
