we sit on our butts all night and try to keep from falling asleep! haha, acctually i was responsible for watching up to 80 patients house wide. I read each patients heart rythm every 2 hours and was recorded and noted any changes or any abnormalities. i let the RN's know of anything i felt was nessarry. Me personally were one of the better people on the unit at reading strips, so RN's would ask me to help them figure them out and stuff like that before a DR. was called. when i wasnt sitting there watching patients, i walked around....helped RN's and NA's with things they needed, reconnected telemetry units that had fallen off. i worked midnights, so we were also required to do any "stat" ekg's and we went to every code blue. at garden city i know they just sit in a room and page nurses if things happen. they arnt required to do any patient contact.

well, i was a telemetry tech at Botsford hospital in farmington hills for 4 years. i moved away to go to college somewhere else and am now living in kalamazoo on the West side of the state. Im not a nurse or anything, so im wondering what other hospitals use telemetry tech on the west side of the state? i was a great job and the 12 hr midnight shift was perfect with my school schedual. im just kinda having a hard time finding a TT job, i know at botsford the turnover rate was extremly high and they were basically always looking for extra help. thanks alot :)
