so i currently have 5 yrs-nights exp under my belt. med/surg, cardiac stepdown, ccu. relocated and now in new hospital, now 5 months in open heart unit. honestly i don't love open heart, prefer my medical cardiac patients any day, but wanted to see the surgical side and management. there is a cath lab job opening-same hospital. thinking of applying.
any info or advice from cath lab nurses? now that the opportunity is here i would like to see if it could happen. how is taking call? it is a days/eve position which will be so much better for me than day/nights rotating that i'm doing now. the only factor is that is about 40 min to get to work and i'm not sure if that will be against me, b/c i know they would want you to the lab w/in 30 min.
