Is it wishful thinking for a brand spankin' new grad to consider applying for jobs in cardiac cath?

Would one year of med-surg suffice if I were to apply next year?

It probably will depend on the cath lab, but they usually want experienced ICU nurses. It takes almost 1 year to get comfortable in the cath lab for an experienced nurse.

Our cath lab requires 3 years of ICU or ER experience before they will take you.
