Telemetry is the department that monitors a patient's heart after surgery or if they have congenital heart defects. Telemetry covers all the floors, however, a doctor would have to request for it. The nurses are able to renew/request the orders as well.
I visited Telemetry with my mom today and I met a couple of her friends. They showed me the ropes of what they do and how things are done. I was able to run a couple errands and help some nurses connect the heart monitors on some patients! It was a pretty busy day, but fun nonetheless!
