Most of our travel nurses request an extension as a few have been with us for several years. As stated above, we do float to other units as needed; however, we also offer a couple of additional opportunities in our CMU Telemetry Unit and as ED Transporters. The CMU Telemetry nurses are centrally located and oversee our telemetry patients to ensure safety. These nurses escalate issues at the clinical level to ensure patients are placed on telemetry timely and remain on as indicated by orders.
The ED Transport Nurses assist with moving higher acuity patients from the ED to specialized inpatient units. We staff 2 nurses 24/7 for this role. This initiative allows the ED nurse to remain in the ED to provide ongoing care which enhances throughput and ED decompression.
