Piedmont Eastside, FT

nights

This 6-bed cardiac unit

specializes in the care of observation status patients. The typical

patient population found in the cardiac observation unit includes

patients with diagnoses such as chest pain, cardiac dysrhythmias,

NSTEMIS, as well as the occasional overflow patient admitted for

dialysis, syncope, etc. Nurses working in this area must be

competent regarding rhythm recognition as well as cardiac

catheterization recovery, TR bands, etc. The nurse to patient ratio

is 1 : 4. Our team shares a space with ARU and therefor works very

closely with them and occasionally assists with their outpatients’

preoperative care as well as recoveries. If you are interested in

working with a fun-loving and close-knit group of healthcare

professionals, then the cardiac observation unit is the place for

you!
