Department/Unit Summary

6A is a unique department with 36 physical beds. 24 of those beds are Telemetry beds, staffed at a 1:6 nurse to patient ratio. We see patients with complaints of chest pain, arrhythmias, post-cardiac catheterization, post-pacemaker or ICD implants, respiratory distress, renal failure, surgical patients with significant cardiac histories, pulmonary embolism, and vascular interventions requiring high-risk anticoagulation management. The remaining 12 beds are Progressive Care, staffed at a 1:4 ratio. Those are patients post STEMI in stable condition, respiratory failure on high level oxygen, arrhythmia or blood pressure management with IV drips, diabetic ketoacidosis, post-operative patients requiring higher level monitoring, and general medical patients requiring higher level of monitoring. The blended unit concept is unique, and creates a cohesive group of caregivers united behind a common goal. This high-paced environment is a great place to start if one is interested in specializing in the future, because you are bound to see a little bit of everything!
