Registered Nurse Cath Lab Prep and Recovery

About the role

In this specialized role, you serve as the critical guardian of cardiac recovery. You will manage patients coming off complex interventional procedures—such as angioplasties, stenting, or structural heart repairs—where precision and rapid assessment are vital.

Responsibilities

• Lead the post-procedural recovery of cardiac and vascular patients by expertly managing hemodynamic stability and monitoring for immediate changes in heart rhythm or status.
• Master site-specific care and complication prevention by vigilantly monitoring arterial and venous access points, ensuring distal perfusion and preventing hematomas or bleeding.
• Evaluate and titrate specialized interventions by interpreting real-time data and managing cardiac-specific medications to ensure the heart transitions safely from a procedural to a recovery state.
• Empower patients and families through education by translating complex cardiac recovery protocols into clear, actionable steps for their long-term heart health.
• Anticipate and mitigate procedural risks by utilizing your knowledge of cardiovascular anatomy to identify early signs of vascular distress or cardiac events before they become critical.
