Pct on telemetry unit??

I'm a new tech and I have an interview at a hospital for a telemetry unit. I am very excited but I really don't no anything about that unit. So my question is can anybody tell me what a pct does on a telemetry unit?

    Hi Ash25ley,

    A pct on a telemetry unit is very busy. Vitals every 4 hrs, blood sugars, turning patients every 2 hrs for pressure ulcer prevention. Its really busy but a very good learning experience. Depending on the hospital you have to keep the telemetry leads on each patient in the right place and moniter the patient to make sure they are placed correctly. For the most part you will be answering call bells and making sure each patient is clean.... bm and urine output. food and drink input... Have fun!!! Good luck on your interview, its a very good job.
