As our Telemetry Nurse at St. Joseph Health Bryan, 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. You'll build trust in these interactions by learning new concepts and applying what you know in real-time to provide solutions for real people. Your success in this role comes from your enthusiasm to provide excellent care and learn new things and your ability to communicate effectively with peers, patients, and patients' loved ones.
