Registered Nurse (RN) - Electrophysiology Lab - Days

About the Role

The Electrophysiology (EP) labs are invasive procedural units that provide diagnostic and interventional services. There are four labs: three with x‑ray capabilities and one for ancillary EP procedures. Procedures include pacemaker, automatic defibrillator, left atrial occlusion implants, and ablations for atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, and atrial flutter. The labs serve an adult population and a growing pediatric congenital population, ranging from outpatient to critical‑care settings. The academic environment offers regular in‑services, lectures, and a robust research team that participates in studies such as Frozen AF and Champion (Watchman) and utilizes mapping modalities like Biosense Webster, Abbott Precision, and Boston Scientific Rhythmia.
