Whether you’re an aspiring telemetry technician or a medical pro, anyone can benefit from a certification program. The certificate will help you aim for better jobs in the market, and you may even stand out from the crowd. However, if you’re still contemplating the idea of becoming a telemetry monitor technician, let us help you!
National Telemetry Association has been helping students and pros in achieving the required 85% or higher score for their telemetry certification since 2011. We are aware of the growing need for EKG technicians and the several benefits you can enjoy from this career path.
What is a Telemetry Monitor Technician?
A telemetry technician is responsible for monitoring the heartbeat’s electrical activity. In addition, these technicians also look for any irregularities, evaluate blood pressures, and positioning patients accordingly.
A telemetry nurse would also brief the patient about the procedures and provide them with necessary healthcare. In addition to being familiar with the equipment and supplies for monitoring, they are also responsible for patient safety and compliance procedures.
Benefits of Becoming an EKG Technician
With the global pandemic, more and more hospitals and clinics are following safety measures. This also means the healthcare industry is looking for better EKG technicians with certification in their field. Let’s take a look at some of the benefits you can enjoy from becoming a cardiac monitor technician:
1.     Become the Doctors’ Right-Hand Person
If you’re thinking about becoming a cardiac monitor technician, you probably have a knack for helping others. As a telemetry monitor technician, your job will be vital for doctors to make an informed decision. In addition to this, although your job will not be as invasive as doctors, you will be helping save the lives of several patients.
Without your help, a cardiology test won’t be possible, thus making it impossible to detect arrhythmias and artifacts. So, if you want to work as the doctors’ right-hand person and love taking care of people, this job will be perfect for you.
2.     Easy to Get Certifications
Although getting certified is an option in this field, it will help you gain access to better opportunities in the job market. Unlike other healthcare certifications, a telemetry certification is relatively easy to get. Currently, National Telemetry Association is providing a 3-months and 6-months program for their members.
With just a couple of months of practice and learning and an 85% score, you can become a certified technician.
3.     A Life without Debts
With traditional educational degrees, you might live a life drenched in debt. However, becoming an EKG technician is relatively pocket-friendly, with the pay scales accounting for more than the certification in the long run.
Many institutes also offer interest-free loans and scholarship programs for certification programs. At National Telemetry Association, we provide generous loans for those looking to renew their certification.
4.     Expanding Job Market
According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job market in the healthcare industry will grow by a whopping 15% between 2019 and 2029, making for more than 2 million new jobs. This means that healthcare-related jobs, especially an essential job like that of a telemetry monitor technician, you can expect a lot of good opportunities and job security.
