Medical Telemetry Unit specializes in the management of the adult and geriatric cardiac, stroke, congestive heart failure, medical, and surgical patients who have current or potential health problems that require nursing interventions. The majority of patients on this unit are connected to a tele-monitor or “tele-box.” The device wirelessly delivers the patient’s heart rate and rhythm to the tele-monitor room where monitors display the heart activity. Many of these patients will stay for long periods at a time. As a Health Scholar, you will have the opportunity to bond with these patients, to offer your assistance, and to hopefully witness their gradual recovery as you complete your weekly shifts.

Pulmonary-Renal offers scholars a wide range of experience from working with geriatric patients to young adult patients who have undergone various procedures and types of care. The patients on this floor typically have issues with their lungs or kidneys, and the floor contains its own dialysis center that treats patients from across the hospital. Health Scholars on the floor will have the opportunity to assist in patient care including feeding, changing, and positioning, as well as take vitals and discharge patients. Patients' stay can vary in length, allowing the Scholars to create bonds with these individuals and have a hand in the healing process.
