Monitor Surveillance Technician

Duties and Responsibilities: Monitor surveillance technicians observe the electrical activity of heartbeats which is graphically displayed on a series of monitors in cardiac care units of hospitals.  They examine these patterns and provide the results to physicians and nursing staff.

Salary:  $26,000 - $41,000

Education: Requires two 2 years of experience in electronics, computer networks, and familiarity with routers, VPNs, firewalls, security appliances, and basic telephony. Must also have experience in the installation, maintenance and repair of technical investigative/surveillance equipment or an equivalent combination of education (e.g. formal electronics technology program or training in the use, repair and installation of electronic or surveillance equipment) and experience to total two 2 years.

I think that I would like to be a Monitor Surveillance Technician only if I was passionate about it because I think that it is a pretty average job with acceptable requirements and salary.
