We just had a unit go to remote telemetry.
We did put all the nurses through the AHA ECG & Pharmacology class. This course
has just been developed by the AHA. You can go to their website to see it.
There is a CD to conduct the course and a student book. It is a pretty good
class and the nurses loved it.

cardiac monitoring in Med Surg
We are exploring remote monitoring medical patients in
our Medical
Surgical units. These nurses have no cardiac or even basic ecg
experience/educatio
perform remote monitoring and how to educate/support my nurses when
basic ecg is not a requirement of their position. What happens in your
hospital? What protocols or resources do you have in place, and more
importantly what works well?
Thank you!
