Neurosurgery Nurse to Cardiac Cath Lab

Hi,

I'm new to the forum. I am a new nurse, only been in the field a year or so. I have only two months of ICU experience and my nurse manager is letting me float to the Cardiac Cath lab for a month to help out with their over-populated service. I was just wondering if any of you Cath Lab nurses could give me some words of wisdom. I'm not super familiar with telemetry and arrythmias. I've also only been the recorder in Codes and therefore am not use to pushing Cardiac meds as the MD screams the order or even just tells it to me over the phone. I'm still new and it takes me a while to do titration calculations and interpret heart rhythms. Is there anything I should study up on. I have read all about the procedures performed but I'm more worried about the unexpected and other diagnostoc procedures like a TEE that happen in the holding area. Any advice? Any at all Thanks!
