I'm in the process of deciding whether or not to transfer to the cath lab after many years in the ER. I'm totally burned out and need a change but don't want to work in ICU or the floors. I have spoken to a nurse that works there and she had nothing but good things to say about it, but we come from different nursing background/experience. I would really like to know what the bad points of cath lab nursing are.
This cath lab is a non-interventional lab which means pts. have to be transferred out if intervention needed. Doing transfer paperwork is nothing new to me as we do it all the time in ER.
I would love to hear from you all just to have some idea before I go ahead with the change. Thanks!
