Unit Details:
7th Floor is a surgical unit caring for abdominal surgeries, trauma and Whipple cases.
8BC is a long-term, low-acuity unit with patients awaiting placement or receiving long-term antibiotic therapy.
9th Floor handles general medical cases, including chronic and acute patients.
2 South is a short-stay, cardiac and COVID unit; 3 South is a neuro unit; 4 South is an orthopedic and spine unit.
Alternate assignments include 10th Floor Med-Surg Oncology and the ER Transition Unit, adjacent to the ER, which holds Med-Surg patients waiting for Med-Surg beds.
The ER Transition Unit includes ERT, with no specific patient restrictions and its own telemetry monitoring; CDU, a rapid cardiac decision unit with its own telemetry monitoring and curtained areas between beds; and MSW, a Med-Surg transition area with curtained areas between beds, mostly for general Med-Tele patients and with some infection-prevention exclusion criteria.
Telemetry is monitored remotely by telemetry technicians, who measure and read strips; RNs verify that the readings are correct.
RNs titrate drips. Most drips are at a set rate and may be titrated up to the maximum allowed by the Med-Surg guideline; patients transfer to critical care if the maximum is reached.
Common titratable or set-rate drips include insulin, heparin, nitro up to 30 mcg, dobutamine up to 5 mcg, dopamine up to 5 mcg, and Cardizem up to 30 mcg only for patients already taking oral Cardizem; Cardizem may not be used for new-onset arrhythmias.
Respiratory support includes CPAP, BiPAP and tracheostomies; there are no ventilators.
If RN staffing is short, RNs may be assigned as a CNA, with the same expectation as facility staff.
RNs may be assigned as entrance screeners if needed, with the same expectation as facility staff.
Alternate units follow the same Med-Surg standard of care.

Shift & Scheduling:
Every other weekend.
Holiday requirement: 1-2 winter holidays.
