Cath Lab Job Description

The cardiac catheterization lab (CCL) is a high-tech, specialized department in healthcare facilities where patients are diagnosed and treated for cardiovascular emergencies and conditions. Cath lab nurses care for these patients while they are undergoing different procedures due to their heart conditions or similar emergency situations and assist the doctor in performing interventional procedures like cardiac catheterization procedures, valvuloplasties, and angioplasties.

Also called cardiac cath lab nurses, a cath lab travel nurse will arrive at their assignment and help the cardiologist during catheterization. Cath Lab travel nurses can be involved in some of the most important and intricate procedures in healthcare settings, from cardiac procedures after a stroke or heart attack to even heart transplants.

These are the general responsibilities and processes a cath lab travel nurse performs as part of their job:

  • Verifying that the patient’s consent paperwork is done and filed in the patient’s chart, along with their health records.
  • Sterilize the patients and shave the areas where the catheter will be put in preparation for the surgery.
  • They monitor sedation levels before, during, and after catheterization, ensuring the patient does not have an adverse reaction.
  • Assist the medical team in interventions like balloon angioplasty, stent insertion, rotablation, and balloon cutting.
  • After catheterization, they monitor patients for evidence of infection or side effects.
  • Post-procedure, patients and their families are provided with discharge paperwork and instructions about their medications, therapeutic procedures, activities, and dietary restrictions.
  • Adding any particular details about the surgery to the patient’s chart.

Travel Nursing Reviews

5/5

The response time from my recruiter and nurse specialist is amazing! They both have been so great to work with on my first assignment out in California!!! Chad and Samantha both are super caring and very responsive! I already extended my contract with the hospital because of the smooth process. They made the transition from Florida to California a lot loss stressful than I imagined. Would definitely recommend them both!!!

My recruiter, and other staff I have had the pleasure of interacting with, are all so friendly and helpful. My recruiter is responsive, and even reached out while she was on vacation to check on me! I’ve worked with other agencies in the past, but Stability is next level when it comes to making your travel nursing experience as seamless as possible! Special shout out to Lindsay (best recruiter ever) and Tracy. Amazing people to work with.

My recruiter is very responsive and personable. I have NEVER had any issues with them!! This agency even has PTO! None of my co workers with other agencies have this benefit!! Also the rates are equal or higher than most other agencies!! Everything feels more like family than business and for that I would choose stability over any other agency!! I am so happy I chose to work with them!

My recruiter Amanda is amazing and always timely with her responses. Debbie who is my nurse experience specialist who is with me all times of the contract is truly awesome. Love how responsive she is and will answer any and all my questions. Big thanks to Jesse my compliance coordinator for making all the appointments and getting me travel ready. Can’t thank my team enough for all they do. Any question or issue I have they resolve right away. And I love that they breakdown each contract into a spread so you know exactly what your getting for the terms of the contract.
