Hi guys,

Anyone worked at UM Miami 12 ave. telemetry floor? Do they have PT's in vents? Do they have a tell tech reading the rhythms or is it you who reads them? Thanks a lot guys.

There are no pts on vents. The telemetry floor is split into stepdown pts and medsurg. You need special training for the stepdown pts so they don't give those to new grads right away until after 6months of experience. There's a tech 24 hrs a day looking at the monitors so you do not have to analyze the rhythm. It's a regular cardiac floor.
