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!
