What are the responsibilities and job description for the Medical Surgical Telemetry RN position at CommonSpirit Health?
As our Medical Surgical Telemetry Nurse at St. Joseph Health College Station, you'll put your nursing skills and knowledge to the test as you closely monitor your patient's vitals, like blood pressure, oxygen saturation, heart rhythms, and respiration. You'll also put patients and their loved ones at ease by explaining test results in a way they can understand and make significant healthcare decisions.
Each day you'll serve as a critical member of our nursing team by working with our doctors and other clinical specialists to closely observe patients requiring continuous cardiac monitoring.
