Key Responsibilities

  • Admit and assess patients.
  • Prepare patients for catheterization procedures, including charting and IV starts.
  • Prepare patients for cardioversions and transesophageal echocardiograms.
  • Recover patients following catheterization while monitoring for conscious sedation effects.
  • Sedate, circulate, and document bedside procedures such as cardioversions and TEE.
  • Conduct discharge processes, including patient education and thorough documentation.
Qualifications
  • Current RN license in Arizona or a compact state.
  • ACLS certification.
  • BLS certification.
  • Minimum of 2 years of nursing experience, with preference for background in PACU, ICU, telemetry, catheterization lab, or surgery center.
