DESCRIPTION
UC San Diego Health is proud to be a four-time Magnet-designated organization and has now earned Magnet with Distinction from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). Magnet is the gold standard for nursing excellence, achieved by only about 10% of hospitals worldwide. Magnet with Distinction is awarded to the highest-performing Magnet organizations, with only a select few earning this prestigious honor. This recognition reflects our commitment to transformational leadership, professional nursing excellence, innovation, exceptional patient outcomes, and an empowering practice environment where nurses thrive.
The Telemetry Unit at East Campus Medical Center located on the 5th floor provides care for adult medical and surgical patients who require a higher level of monitoring, including continuous cardiac telemetry. Common admitting diagnoses include cardiac and cardiovascular conditions, respiratory, neurological, renal, and metabolic disorders, as well as post-general surgery care. The acuity and complexity of this patient population require nursing staff to possess strong clinical judgment and specialized knowledge related to disease progression and advanced monitoring.
Autonomous nursing care is the ability of a nurse to assess and provide nursing actions as appropriate for patient care populations based on competence, professional expertise, and knowledge. The nurse is expected to practice autonomously consistent with ANA Standards of Practice and Professional Performance. Independent judgment is expected to be exercised within the context of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches to patient care.
