West Virginia was named for England's "Virgin Queen," Elizabeth I. It was part of Virginia until 1861. When Virginia seceded from the Union, the 40 western county delegates opposed the secession and formed their own government, which was granted statehood in 1863. The New River Gorge Bridge in Fayetteville, West Virginia, is the longest steel-arch bridge in the United States, spanning 1, 699 feet across the New River Canyon. The first state sales tax established in the United States went into effect on July 1, 1921, in West Virginia.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.
