About the Role:

You'll work in a fast-paced outpatient cardiovascular procedural area supporting catheterization and EP lab procedures. Your responsibilities include admitting patients, obtaining pre-procedure histories, initiating IVs, and providing post-sedation recovery care with close monitoring of vascular access sites (groin and wrist).

You must be comfortable assessing and managing post-catheterization access sites—including recognizing bleeding complications and applying direct pressure when needed. Telemetry monitoring and cardiac rhythm interpretation are core to this role.

Key Responsibilities:

• Pre-procedure patient assessment and IV placement
• Continuous telemetry monitoring and EKG interpretation
• Post-sedation recovery nursing care
• Vascular access site assessment and monitoring
• Medication administration per protocol
• Patient and family education
• Collaboration with cardiologists and procedural teams
• Documentation in the patient record

Requirements:

• Active RN license (state or compact)
• BSN preferred; ADN accepted per facility policy
• BLS and ACLS certification required
• Minimum 1+ years telemetry experience
• Competency in EKG interpretation and cardiac rhythm monitoring
• Ability to manage cardiac medications and recognize arrhythmias

This is an ideal role for a telemetry nurse seeking a predictable schedule in a procedural setting.
