We are looking for a dedicated and experienced Cardiac Catheterization Lab Nurse to join our dynamic healthcare team. This role is critical in providing specialized nursing care to patients undergoing diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization procedures. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in cardiovascular nursing, excellent critical thinking skills, and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment.
As a Cardiac Catheterization Lab Nurse, you will be responsible for preparing patients for procedures, monitoring vital signs, administering medications, and assisting physicians during catheterizations. You will also be involved in post-procedure care, ensuring patient safety and comfort during recovery. Your role will require close collaboration with cardiologists, radiologic technologists, and other healthcare professionals to deliver high-quality, patient-centered care.
This position demands a high level of technical proficiency, attention to detail, and the ability to respond quickly to emergencies.

The successful candidate will be a registered nurse with current licensure and have at least two years of experience in a cardiac care setting, preferably in a catheterization lab. Certification in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) is required, and additional certifications such as CCRN or RCIS are highly desirable.
