The ICU CNA/Telemetry Support provides direct and indirect patient care under the direction and supervision of the Charge Nurse, or Registered Nurse. The ICU CNA/Telemetry Support assists patients with activities of daily living, provides basic nursing care, supports patient admissions, transfers, and discharges, and assists in maintaining a safe, clean, and therapeutic environment.

The ICU CNA/Telemetry Support functions as an integral member of the interdisciplinary critical care team and collaborates with nurses, physicians, and ancillary departments to provide safe, patient-centered care.

In addition to patient care responsibilities, the ICU CNA/Telemetry Support provides intermittent telemetry monitoring support as assigned. Responsibilities include observation of cardiac rhythms, recognition of lethal arrhythmias, escalation of urgent findings according to departmental standards, and completion of telemetry-related tasks as outlined in departmental standard work.

The ICU CNA/Telemetry Support utilizes Cerner, PM Office, and other hospital systems to support patient care and telemetry functions and maintains competency in telemetry workflows, monitoring principles, and departmental policies.
