Path to Cath Lab RN

[VRS82]

Hello! I am a new grad (second career RN at the age of 38). I shadowed recently at a cath lab and was completely mesmerized by it and decided that is where I want to end up. I have just started on a CSU and was wondering what tips there may be to assist me in realizing my ultimate goal! (Courses or certifications that may be helpful when/if the opportunity ever arises?) Thank you!

What about the OR, same level or exposure or different?

I would say far less. Unlike cath lab, we don’t use imaging in every case.
