Overview

RN Telemetry | Concord Hospital | Full Time | Nights

The Telemetry Care Unit (4 East) is a team built on collaboration and dedication to the patients we serve. Patients on the Telemetry Care unit are under constant electronic monitoring. Our typical patient population consists of moderate-complexity patients who have experienced cardiovascular incidents like heart attacks, heart failure, or strokes and must be kept under close observation as they recover. There is a wide array of other conditions that also require close telemetry monitoring.

The dynamic population allows teammates to enhance their skills in balancing patient flow and acuity management. You will be working alongside experienced Nurses and LNAs that are adaptable to complex clinical scenarios and maintain a close-knit team-based model of care. We succeed through our goals of serving patients and supporting our team.
