Cath Lab RN

Alright, let's talk about this Cath Lab RN position at Chippenham Hospital in Richmond, VA. I've been recruiting for these roles for over a decade, and I can tell you, it's not your average nursing gig. You're in the thick of it, managing complex cardiac cases. It's PRN, so the schedule is as needed.

What You'll Be Doing

You're the RN responsible for the clinical management of your patient from start to finish. That means you're operating the diagnostic imaging system during procedures, documenting everything thoroughly with our tools, and making sure your work area is stocked and clean after each case.

• You'll participate in quality management activities and understand all our hospital and departmental policies inside and out.
• Communication is huge here; you need to demonstrate effective skills with patients, visitors, physicians, and other staff to ensure everyone's satisfaction.
• There's a leadership component. You'll guide others through role modeling, coaching, or mentoring. This could mean designing orientation modules or being the primary preceptor for senior nursing students.
• You'll provide evaluation and direction on material resources and equipment, working with other departments on vendor feedback.
• The role includes participating in a unit on call schedule.
• A specific task: you'll take the lead role in monitoring the Pharmacy Accudose Narcotic Inventory counts in all the procedure rooms.

• First off, you must be a graduate of an accredited School of Nursing. A BSN is preferred.

• For experience: two years minimum in a Cath Lab within a high volume unit is required. You also need successful completion of a critical care course class.

The pay range isn't listed here; you'd discuss that directly with the recruiter based on your experience fitting those specific requirements above. But let me tell you about the benefits package at HCA Healthcare; it's extensive. They call it a total rewards package supporting health, life, career, and retirement.
