Telemetry nursing
Telemetry nursing is a specialized area where nurses monitor patients' heart activity and vital signs remotely using advanced equipment. These patients typically have heart or cardiovascular conditions that require close observation but do not need intensive care. The nurse continuously tracks the heart’s electrical signals, ensuring immediate response to any irregularities. This role involves interpreting data from monitors, making clinical decisions, and communicating with the medical team to ensure optimal patient care. Telemetry nursing combines technical skills with patient interaction, providing a crucial link in managing cardiac patients outside of intensive care settings.
