Travel Registered Nurse Cath Lab Job
About The Position
Seize the opportunity to advance your cardiovascular nursing career as a Cath Lab Registered Nurse in California’s scenic Central Coast, San Luis Obispo. This role places you at the heart of interventional cardiology, where every shift offers a critical, life-changing impact on patients undergoing diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. You’ll work alongside skilled cardiology teams, contribute to high-stakes environments, and sharpen your expertise in a setting that values precision, compassion, and patient advocacy. Picture yourself delivering expert care through catheterization, angioplasty, stent placement, and supportive post-procedure recovery, all while growing within a specialty that demands focus, teamwork, and continuous learning. And when you’re off duty, the region invites exploration—sunlit beaches, rugged coastline, the rolling hills of wine country, and the Santa Lucia Mountains—creating a balanced backdrop for professional accomplishment and personal discovery. Location Benefits: San Luis Obispo sits along California’s storied Central Coast, offering a temperate climate, accessible outdoor recreation, and a welcoming community atmosphere. You’ll enjoy proximity to pristine beaches, scenic hiking, and opportunities to savor farm-to-table cuisine and boutique local attractions. The area combines a laid-back coastal vibe with access to robust healthcare networks, providing a rich professional environment for a Cath Lab RN. For those who thrive on variety, the program also presents the chance to work across multiple U.S. locations through our nationwide travel opportunities, expanding your clinical horizons and exposing you to a spectrum of hospital systems, protocols, and patient populations. This blend of high-quality cardiovascular care and diverse experiences makes California’s Central Coast an ideal launchpad for a nurse who seeks both professional depth and a rewarding lifestyle. Role Specifics and Benefits: In this Cath Lab RN assignment, you will be responsible for preparing the lab for procedures, assisting physicians during catheter-based interventions, and maintaining rigorous sterile technique and patient safety standards. Daily duties include monitoring hemodynamics, calibrating and troubleshooting imaging equipment, assisting with contrast administration, managing medications within scope, and providing accurate documentation of procedures and outcomes. You’ll partner with interventional cardiology, radiology, and anesthesia teams to ensure smooth procedural flow, optimal patient positioning, and timely post-procedure handoffs to the recovery area. The role offers substantial opportunities for professional growth: exposure to complex cases, ongoing performance feedback, and the chance to deepen expertise in electrophysiology, intervention strategies, and peri-procedural care. Compensation features include a competitive pay range and the potential for a sign-on bonus, plus housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary housing needs. We also offer extension opportunities, enabling you to continue contributing to patient care across multiple assignments and healthcare settings. Our support framework is extensive: a dedicated 24/7 travel support line, on-site coordinators, and a national network designed to resolve scheduling, housing, licensing, and credentialing issues quickly so you can focus on care delivery and professional development. Our commitment goes beyond clinical duties. The company values you as a professional and a person, empowering you to shape your career path within a supportive, inclusive environment. You will find mentoring opportunities, access to continuing education resources, and pathways to expanded responsibilities as you master a broad range of cardiovascular procedures. The culture emphasizes recognition, teamwork, and resilience, ensuring you feel valued whether you’re navigating complex cases or mentoring new team members. This environment is designed to help you grow—from acute procedural proficiency to leadership-ready collaboration—while maintaining balance and well-being across assignments.
