2. cath lab advice please...

   dcoxrn replied to heart2heart's topic in Cardiac

   Even with 7 years ICU experience it may be difficult to land a cath lab job having been out of work for four years. I am a cath lab supervisor and would be very hesitant to hire somebody in that situation. It is a very demanding job and you must be...
