Days Per Week

The name Florida was given by Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon when he discovered the land in 1513. He originally called it Pascua Florida, which means "Flowery Easter." Saint Augustine is the oldest European settlement in North America. It was established in 1565. Florida has the longest coastline in the contiguous United States (1,350 miles or 2,170 km), and is the only state in the United States that borders both the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean.Telemetry nurses work with patients that require special monitoring, including those recently released from the intensive care unit of a hospital. RNs in the telemetry unit provide patient care by comfortably connecting them to machines that measure heart rate, breathing rate, blood-oxygen levels, and electrocardiogram information. They also carry out more traditional nursing duties of a med-surge nurse such as administering medications and communicating with patients regarding their condition.
