New Cath Lab RN

Published

Specializes in Cardiology.

Hello all! I see this topic posted alot but Im going to post it as well. I accepted a position in our cath lab. I have stepdown/PCU experience but no ICU experience. The hospital I work at is government so it's pt population is limited. The manager and ANM basically said this is the time where they can really train a new RN to cath lab.

Anywho. I've seen Kern's book as a resource to read. Any others that you recommend? I will also eventually be trained in EP lab as well so any books on that area would be greatly appreciated.

Hey there,  I would recommend watching the Youtube channel "CCC live cases" it is a monthly live cath lab case Dr.Kini and Dr. Sharma perform from Mt. Sinai NY. They are incredible teachers and it's a great way to start to understand the cath lab process and lingo.  Also the channel transradialworld is a wealth of knowledge.  Also the channel Dr. Manos Brilakis, he talks really fast but just slow the speed down and he is amazing. If you check these channels out let me know what you think!
