Job Overview

Seeking experienced Telemetry/Stepdown RNs for a high-acuity 36-bed Cardiac/PCU unit in an acute care Level II Trauma facility.

This unit manages complex cardiac and post-procedural patients and requires strong cardiac rhythm interpretation and titratable drip experience. This is not a basic telemetry assignment — Stepdown-level experience is strongly preferred.

• Provide care for cardiac and PCU-level patients
• Manage nurse-to-patient ratios of:
  • PCU acuity: 1:4
  • Med Surg/Tele acuity: 1:5 (rarely 1:6)
• Titrate cardiac drips including:
  • Cardizem
  • Amiodarone
  • Dobutamine
  • Dopamine
  • Integrelin
  • Heparin
  • Ativan
  • Lasix
  • Nitro (up to 50 mcg)
• Care for patients with diagnoses including:
  • AMI
  • Post-cath / post-PCI
  • CR bands
  • Pacemakers
  • Post-op lung surgeries
  • Respiratory failure
  • Chest tubes
• Read and interpret telemetry strips (Phillips monitors; monitor techs present but RN interpretation required)
• Float to other Med Surg/Tele units as needed
• Document in EPIC

• Active RN license
• BLS (AHA)
• Strong Stepdown or high-acuity Telemetry experience
• Must be comfortable titrating multiple cardiac drips
• Must independently interpret telemetry strips
• Must reside 50+ miles from facility
• Copy of unexpired driver’s license required at submission
• No artificial nails permitted

• Shift: 7:00 PM – 7:00 AM
• 36 hours guaranteed weekly
• Every other weekend required (Saturday/Sunday)
• Holiday rotation required
• Charge nurse available 24/7 (night charge takes patients)
• CNA support (approximately 1 CNA per 9 patients; team nursing model when possible)
• CPAP & BiPAP managed by RT
• Royal Blue scrubs required
• Cancellation: 2 shifts per 13-week contract

50-mile radius rule applies (no locals). Must have Stepdown-level experience and cardiac drip titration skills. Driver’s license copy required h-acuity cardiac unit — not appropriate for entry-level Tele nurses.
