Prepare for Telemetry with confidence

What your Tele 90-day path covers

• ✓The conduction system and what the monitor is actually showing
• ✓Reading a strip systematically: rate, regularity and relationship
• ✓Lead placement, artifact and the strip you can trust
• ✓Intervals: PR, QRS and the QT that gets forgotten
• ✓Alarms, alarm fatigue and who actually needs monitoring
• ✓Sinus rhythms and the ones that only look like them
• ✓Atrial fibrillation and flutter: rate, rhythm and stroke
• ✓Supraventricular tachycardia: narrow, fast and re-entrant
• ✓Ventricular rhythms and the wide complex problem
• ✓Atrioventricular block: where the conduction stops
• ✓The twelve-lead: territories and reciprocal change
• ✓STEMI: recognition, time and the nursing work that saves muscle
• ✓NSTEMI, unstable angina and reading the troponin
• ✓The patterns you cannot afford to miss
• ✓Preload, afterload and contractility at the bedside
• ✓Acute decompensated heart failure on the ward
• ✓The four pillars and titration on a monitored unit
• ✓Shock states recognized from the progressive care bed
• ✓Pacemakers: modes, capture and the failures to recognize
• ✓Implantable defibrillators and what a shock means
• ✓After the catheter laboratory: access sites and early complications
• ✓Oxygenation versus ventilation: two problems, two treatments
• ✓Non-invasive ventilation on a progressive care unit
• ✓Exacerbations: obstructive disease on a monitored bed
• ✓Pulmonary embolism and the patient who deteriorates suddenly
• ✓Potassium, magnesium and the rhythm they produce
• ✓Acute kidney injury on the monitored ward
• ✓Glycemic management and the insulin infusion
• ✓Gastrointestinal bleeding in the anticoagulated patient
• ✓Stroke recognition and the time-critical window
• ✓Delirium, sedation and the confused monitored patient
• ✓Alcohol withdrawal on a monitored bed
• ✓Recognizing the patient leaving the unit's safe range
• ✓Rapid response, escalation and the transfer decision
• ✓Advocacy, handoff and the Synergy Model in practice
• ✓Clinical inquiry: changing practice on your own unit

Start with a free gap analysis

Before you study anything, AscendRN's gap analysis shows you exactly where you stand across the ten competencies that matter for telemetry — patient assessment, pharmacology, prioritization, and more. You find your gaps here, in minutes, instead of at the bedside. Then your path adapts to close them.
