Telemetry is monitored remotely by telemetry techs, who measure and read strips; RNs verify that the readings are correct.
Most drips run at a set rate; RNs may titrate up to the maximum allowed by the med-surg guideline, with transfer to critical care if the maximum is reached.
Common titratable and/or set-rate drips include insulin, heparin, nitro up to 30mcg, dobutamine up to 5mcg, dopamine up to 5 mcg, and Cardizem up to 30 mcg for patients already on oral Cardizem; Cardizem may not be used for new-onset arrhythmias.
Respiratory support includes CPAP, BiPAP, and tracheostomies; there are no ventilators.
When RN staffing is short, travelers may be assigned as a CNA and may be assigned as an entrance screener if needed, consistent with expectations for the facility's own staff.

Schedule is based on staffing needs to cover the entire med-surg division.
Must work 1-2 winter holidays.
