Cardiovascular ICU RN

What You'll Do as a Cardiovascular CATH LAB RN

Your voice matters here. You'll help shape decisions that improve patient outcomes and the future of nursing ; whether through open conversations with your manager or through hospital councils and national nursing initiatives.

As a Cath Lab Nurse, you'll assist with all invasive cardiac, vascular, and interventional procedures. You'll show clinical judgment, teaching skills, and a real commitment to quality patient care. And you'll work on a team that pulls together to make that happen.

• Handle all testing and therapeutics in the Cath Lab, including cardiac catheterizations, coronary interventions, EP device and ablation therapies, interventional radiology, neuro diagnostics and interventions, endovascular procedures, and structural heart procedures (LAAC, TAVR).
• Keep communication flowing among departmental staff so the approach to patient care stays interdisciplinary and collaborative. Use the SBAR process for hand off communication.
• Guide patients through every part of their procedure ; transport, site preparation, sterile procedure, monitoring, hemostasis after catheter or sheath removal, and return to their room. Handle emergent cases when they come up.
• Maintain accurate, timely, and compliant patient records. Complete all paperwork tied to these procedures and prep tests for physician interpretation.
• Stay flexible, organized, and steady under stressful situations. Help orient fellow team members when needed.

What You'll Need to Bring

• A current nursing license in good standing.
• An Associate's Degree in nursing is required; a bachelor's degree is preferred.
• Two to three years of Cath Lab experience is required.
• Emergency Room or ICU experience is preferred.
• American Red Cross or American Heart Association Basic Life Support (BLS or BCLS) certification.
• American Red Cross or American Heart Association Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) certification.
