Telemetry RN

Alright, let's talk about this Telemetry RN opening at Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, AZ. I've been placing nurses here for years, and I'll be straight with you: it's a serious hospital for serious professionals. The work is complex, the team expects your best, and they support you to give it. If you're looking for a place where your skills matter and you can build a real career, this is worth your time.

The Work

You're the registered nurse coordinating all phases of care for your patients on the telemetry unit. That means direct patient care, sure, but also educating patients and their families, and managing transitions when they move to another part of the hospital or go home. You'll plan it, implement it, evaluate it, and communicate about it.

Leadership is part of the job here. You might act as a preceptor for new staff or get involved in quality improvement projects. You'll delegate tasks appropriately based on skill levels and how sick your patients are.

A heads up: some folks in this role have to drive their own car as part of their job duties.

What You Need to Bring

• A nursing degree from a program accredited by ACEN, CCNE, or NLN CNEA.
• If your program wasn't accredited by one of those bodies, you need at least one year of RN experience in a relevant setting or one year of LPN experience at Mayo Clinic itself.
• For ADN nurses starting after April 1, 2020: you must complete your BSN within five years of your start date.
• A current RN license for the state.
• Your BLS certification needs to be valid for 90 days after you start. It has to be from the American Heart Association as a "BLS Provider" or from the American Red Cross as "Basic Life Support" or "CPR/AED for Professional Rescuers." Get this before day one.
• You'll need to get your ACLS and FCCS certifications after you're hired.

The Schedule & Pay

This is a part time position working 48 hours per pay period. That's two 12 hour shifts every week from 7:00 PM to 7:30 AM. You'll have a holiday rotation that gets assigned when you start, and weekend shifts are required. There's no call duty.

The pay isn't just a number on an offer letter. Mayo uses its own nursing compensation model that actually rewards you for your experience, your education level, and how long you stick around. Combine that with their tuition reimbursement program if you want to advance your degree; it's built so you can grow what you know and what you earn over time.

Benefits & Other Details

• You're benefits eligible even at part time hours.
• Medical insurance with several plans to pick from.
• Dental coverage through Delta Dental or a flexible spending account option.
• A vision plan that's affordable and has a national network.
• Pre tax savings accounts like HSAs and FSAs for eligible health expenses.
• A retirement package designed to help secure things down the road.

A Few More Things We're Looking For

• A year of RN experience in an applicable setting is preferred (or current LPN experience at Mayo). Experience in Hem/Onc/BMT or PCU is also a plus.
• You've got to communicate well; both talking and writing clearly matters here.
• Experience working on a team is non negotiable; nobody flies solo in this unit.
• Basic computer skills are required; if you've used an electronic medical record system before, even better.
• The schedule isn't always predictable outside your core nights. You need flexibility for days, evenings, holidays; whatever the unit needs sometimes.
