Cardiac Monitor Technician

The Role

This is a job for someone who can watch a cardiac monitor and know, instantly, when something's wrong. You'd be working at The George Washington University Hospital in Washington, DC ; an academic medical center that's known around DC for using advanced tech to deliver high quality care. You'll be part of the Telemetry team, and what you do matters: you're the person who spots a bad rhythm before it becomes a crisis.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

• You'll watch and interpret cardiac rhythms on telemetry patients ; all day, every shift.
• When you see an abnormal rhythm or any change in patient status, you flag it immediately and report it to the nursing team.
• Making sure the telemetry equipment works right and your documentation is accurate is part of this job.
• You'll talk with nurses and doctors about what you're seeing on those monitors.
• When a patient needs telemetry monitoring set up or taken off, you handle that too.

What You Need to Bring

• A high school diploma or a GED.
• A completed EKG or Telemetry certification program ; that's not optional here; they want proof you've done it.
Some previous experience in telemetry monitoring or direct patient care. A current Basic Life Support (BLS) certification through the American Heart Association.
