Telemetry nurses are usually positioned in cardiac units of a hospital, and are responsible for monitoring patients' heart rate using electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) equipment, and other life-sign measuring instruments. These nurses are required to keep up-to-date technical knowledge of different devices which can be used to measure patients' blood pressure, oxygen saturation level, and heart rhythms. As this profile mostly deals with handling patients suffering from serious health issues, telemetry nurses have to be critical thinkers to take quick decisions. It also requires the nurses to be vigilant, demonstrate excellent observational and communication skills.
