Cath lab?? Need help

Published

Hi all!

I currently work in a busy SICU with lots of post CABs and other cardiothoracic surgeries (I've been there for about 2 years). While I have learned a ton and enjoy it, I think I need a change of pace. I'm thinking of transferring to our cath lab (have a meeting with the NM over there later this week). I do plan on spending a day observing in the CCL to get a feel for what it's like, but what are some other things about CCL work to take into consideration before accepting the position? What's a day in the life of CCL like? Is call that bad? Just looking for any and all information on the cath lab, Thanks!

Call is going to depend on how busy of a cardiac service you have. Good luck with CCL!
