Registered Nurse - Cath Lab

Your job is more than a job.

As a nurse in the cath lab, you knew it was the ideal career for you because the body’s engine, the heart, just fascinates you.  Your typical day is anything but typical. Comfortable in your own nursing skin, you interact intellectually with doctors and are able to multitask like nobody’s business. Prepping for angiograms, running balloon pumps, titrating drips, managing emergencies, getting sterile supplies, circulating, planning, and anticipating every need, nobody gets cath lab nursing like you do.  

  

While weekends and holidays are all yours, because you’re part of a very specialized calling, you understand that cath lab nursing requires emergent on-call. That means when duty calls, you answer. When it comes to matters of the heart, you live and give your extraordinary without hesitation. That’s what we love about you.   

  

Your experiences, knowledge, skills, empathy, compassion, and your “little something extra” all add up to you. And we’re excited to get to know you and find out what you’ll bring to this critical nursing role.
