Registered Nurse Cardiac Telemetry

The Registered Nurse (RN) is a professional caregiver who assumes responsibility and accountability for assessing, planning, implementing, and evaluating the care of patients. The staff RN utilizes the nursing process by using technology, therapeutic intervention, evidence-based practice, and coordination of care with other health team members.

Performs appropriate assessment of physical, social, and psychological status (including cognitive, communicative, and developmental skills as appropriate). Seeks and evaluates information acquired from other members of the interdisciplinary team: patient, family, physician, non‑nursing disciplines, support staff, others.

Uses assessment information and critical thinking skills to collaboratively develop an individualized plan of care. Actively seeks patient, family, team, and physician involvement to develop the plan, including needed education. Collaboratively plans and prepares patients for further support needs once the current episode of care outcomes are met (i.e., teaching, referrals, and follow‑up).

Directs the interdisciplinary care team via delegation, coordination, and collaboration as appropriate. Provides or delegates care consistent with the plan of care, guidelines of care, and professional licensure provisions. Demonstrates the ability to set priorities and to coordinate and organize patient care delivery through effective time, supply, and resource management.

Evaluates patient response to interventions through review of achievement of goals, clinical outcomes, patient, and family satisfaction. Revises the plan of care as indicated and reassesses changes as appropriate.

Promotes the nursing profession and participates in the development of others. Integrates legal and ethical standards into practice, complies with regulatory standards, practices within the scope of licensure, provides accurate and timely documentation, and understands the legal implications of care delivery.
