About The Position

This critical nursing role requires emergent on-call duties, as cath lab nursing requires emergent on-call. This means when duty calls, you answer. When it comes to matters of the heart, you live and give your extraordinary without hesitation. Your experiences, knowledge, skills, empathy, compassion, and your “little something extra” all add up to you. LCMC Health is a community where our people make health happen. While our NOLA roots run deep, our branches are the vessels that carry our mission of bringing the best possible care to every person and parish in Louisiana and beyond and put a little more heart and soul into healthcare along the way. Celebrating authenticity, originality, equity, inclusion and a little “come on in” attitude is the foundation of LCMC Health’s culture of everyday extraordinary.
