With a heritage that spans more than a century, Memorial has built a reputation for “Deeper Caring” and “Smarter Healthcare” – a culture where clinical excellence meets innovative technology, and every team member is empowered to make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients and their families. From groundbreaking cardiac programs to award‑winning emergency services, our hospitals, specialty centers, and outpatient facilities are united by a shared vision: to improve health, well‑being, and quality of life for every person entrusted to our care. As part of this mission, we are continuously expanding our telemetry services to ensure that critical cardiac monitoring is available around the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Remote Night Shift Monitor Technician I position plays a pivotal role in this effort, providing essential real‑time surveillance of cardiac rhythms for patients in the Inpatient Monitoring Care Unit (IMCU) while working from the safety and flexibility of a home‑based environment. Position Overview – What It Means to Be a Remote Monitor Technician I In this full‑time, night‑only role, you will operate under the supervision of a registered nurse (RN) and function as the eyes and ears of the critical‑care team. Your primary responsibility is to continuously monitor, interpret, and document cardiac telemetry data, promptly alerting nursing staff to any deviations, arrhythmias, or signs of patient deterioration. When a lethal arrhythmia or cardiac arrest is detected, you will activate the rapid‑response or code team, ensuring that lifesaving interventions are delivered without delay. Working remotely does not mean you are isolated; you will be an integral member of a collaborative, technology‑driven team that communicates via secure messaging platforms, video conferences, and real‑time alerts. You will have access to Memorial’s state‑of‑the‑art telemetry software, comprehensive training resources, and ongoing mentorship from seasoned cardiovascular specialists. Key Responsibilities – Your Daily Impact on Patient Safety Continuous Cardiac Surveillance: Observe and interpret ECG waveforms on telemetry monitors 24/7, recognizing normal variations as well as critical arrhythmias. Timely Communication: Immediately notify the assigned RN, charge nurse, or designated code team of any abnormal rhythm, oxygen desaturation (SpO₂), or other concerning changes. Artifact Identification & Correction: Detect and troubleshoot signal artifacts caused by patient movement, electrode displacement, or equipment malfunction, ensuring accurate readings. Electrode Management: Apply and secure telemetry electrodes according to best‑practice guidelines, maintaining skin integrity and optimal signal quality. Documentation & Data Entry: Accurately record all telemetry events, rhythm interpretations, interventions, and patient responses in the electronic health record (EHR) in real time. Rapid‑Response Activation: Initiate code blue, rapid response, or other emergency protocols when lethal arrhythmias or cardiac arrests are identified. Quality Assurance: Participate in routine equipment checks, calibrations, and preventive maintenance to uphold system reliability. Collaboration: Work closely with nursing, cardiology, and critical‑care physicians to provide comprehensive information for treatment decisions. Education & Mentorship: Assist newer team members or externs by sharing best practices, troubleshooting tips, and evidence‑based guidelines. Compliance & Safety: Follow all infection‑control, HIPAA, and workplace safety policies, including proper handling of biohazardous waste and hazardous materials.

Licensure & Credentials: Current Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) Competency and valid BLS (Basic Life Support) certification from the American Heart Association or Red Cross. Experience: Minimum six (6) months of hands‑on telemetry monitoring experience, either through an externship or direct employment. Technical Proficiency: Demonstrated ability to interpret basic arrhythmias, understand cardiac conduction physiology, and operate telemetry software platforms. Communication Skills: Clear, concise verbal and written communication; ability to convey critical information rapidly under pressure. Critical Thinking: Strong analytical skills to differentiate true arrhythmic events from artifacts and to prioritize interventions. Physical Requirements: Ability to sit for prolonged periods (up to 60% of shift), perform repetitive hand/arm movements (60%), and mainta Apply tot his job Apply To this Job
