This past week I got offered a job in my hospital's CPRU (Cardiovascular Preparation and Recovery Unit). In some hospitals that have this unit, it may be called CVRU (Cardiovascular Recovery Unit). Here's the breakdown:
~Prep and recover cath lab and EP lab patients
~Dayshift
~6A-6P (yikes!)
~No holidays
~No weekends
I would be keeping my PRN status in the ICU, because the CPRU job is rotating 3 shifts/week and 2 shifts/week. The weeks I work 2 shifts, I'd pick up my 3rd in the ICU.
So stumped as to whether I should accept the job offer. Job satisfaction is high there. Turnover rate is super low. Anyone work in this area or in a similar unit? How does the job sound? Thanks!
