Neuro telemetry floor. Sorry i can t give a more direct answer. Med surg is much more broad. They play an important role in implementing the treatment plan laid down by the physician. Frequent neuro checks but you can get a variety of neurological diagnosis.

These nurses often work long shifts including nights weekends and holidays. Neuro telemetry requires extremely in depth knowledge in neuro disorders symptoms treatments surgeries etc. Telemetry the practice of sending electronic signals from one place to another is a tremendously useful tool in hospitals as it allows hospital personnel to monitor heart rate heart rhythm breathing and other things both by the patient s bed and at a remote location like a nursing station. Recently moved from telemetry to neuro floor.

Telemetry nurses are expected to adhere to professional nursing conventions while on duty. You know what you are going to do before that patient arrives. Since constant monitoring is required for patients within a telemetry unit hospitals need to have telemetry rns on duty 24 7. Most telemetry nurses work in hospitals either in critical care units or on floors known as step down units.

I agree it is predictable unit. Neuro tele can get extremely high acuity patients and if this is the case the ratio would be less than a general med surg floor. Telemetry nursing is a high demand sector due to shortage of icu beds. Report paper i made up is pretty much taken from our computer system.

A telemetry unit is a unit in a hospital where patients are under continuous electronic monitoring.
