Telemetry RN in Fremont, California

Join a vibrant medical-surgical unit in Fremont, where you'll step into a role that combines steady hands with keen judgment. This 17-week contract centers on caring for a diverse patient population primarily dealing with medical diagnoses such as sepsis, COPD, and dehydration. You'll work 12-hour day shifts, providing essential care to patients with conditions like urinary tract infections, pleural effusions, and hepatic encephalopathy. The environment offers the chance to manage a typical nurse-to-patient ratio of 1:4 or 1:5, including some total care patients requiring titrated heparin.
