The ideal candidate will have >2 years cardiac experience. If you do not have experience with line pulls, then we may have our RN complete that task for you and then the traveler would assume care of the patient. The candidate must be ACLS and BLS certified and able to confidently read telemetry. Our patients are on tele, but not monitored by central telemetry. We monitor our own patients.
