Job description
Job Description
Join a travel contract as a Cardiac Cath Lab RN supporting coronary, vascular, peripheral, electrophysiology, and interventional procedures. This assignment is designed for nurses with current cath lab experience who are comfortable with conscious and moderate sedation, airway management, cardiac drips such as Integrilin, dopamine, and vasopressins, and balloon pumps. You will administer sedation, support procedural workflows, and complete documentation using Merge in the cath lab and Cerner in the hospital. Scrubbing is not required, and travelers will not be cross-trained into other procedural areas.
The schedule is four 10-hour day shifts, with start times varying between 6:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m., or until cases are complete. The unit handles approximately 10 to 22 cases per day and participates in rotating STEMI call for urgent, emergent, and inpatient cases, including weekend call coverage. Required credentials include BLS, ACLS, and AHA-issued NIHSS, along with a current California RN license.
