What skills stand out on Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory Registered Nurse resumes?
Dr. Monika Feeney: Firstly to be a nurse, you have to pass multiple skills and technical duties to even be allowed to practice - one is not more important than another since all are patient care skills, and our graduates are taught to be safe providers. In addition, you have to pass a challenging board examination, the NCLEX. You need to be well-rounded and have technical skills as well as the mental capacity to assess and make safe decisions. Resilience and the ability to function safely in an ever-changing healthcare system are important. A kind and caring attitude with a hardworking spirit are what makes a great nurse. The ability to empathize and think on your feet is always important - not just during the current COVID situation. Hands that give kind care as well as a heart that cares.
Advanced practice skills/certifications generally increase your income potential.
What hard/technical skills are most important for Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory Registered Nurses?
Beth Latimer: Technical skills are important to master. However, this happens more so "on the job" rather than at graduation. Only practice makes perfect when mastering a skill, and having daily interactions with patients will develop those hard technical skills necessary for success.
What skills will help Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory Registered Nurses earn the most?
Beth Latimer: Critical thinking, prioritization, carefully assessing any situation at the appropriate time, not normalizing the abnormal, and escalating necessary crucial information to the team at that right moment in time will save lives. Great nurses notice, and when in doubt, will take the right actions to get the right type of intervention for their patients and their families with patient advocacy at the forefront.

What are the biggest trends we'll see in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory Registered Nurse job market given the pandemic?
Kristen Munyan: I don't know that the nursing profession is at a point where we can predict the impact of COVID-19 on our job market yet. Right now we are still in extraordinarily high-demand, and hospitals continue to see COVID-19 related admissions that require high levels of nursing care. There have been discussions about how the pandemic will impact interest in the profession going forward, the retirement plans of existing nurses and graduate school enrollments. This is all still developing. Nursing is still responding to the immediate demands of the pandemic.
In my opinion, I think that the pandemic has reinforced the positive image of nurses on a national stage. In 2020, hospital-based nurses carried the burden of surging COVID-19 admissions, created care innovations to improve patient outcomes and worked tirelessly to save lives. In 2021, community-based nurses are leading us out of this dark time by organizing and running vaccine clinics and educating the public. I believe we will continue to see a high demand for nursing professionals in all-settings, and in nurses going back for advanced degrees that allow them advanced practice roles.
What are the biggest trends we'll see in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory Registered Nurse job market given the pandemic?
Michelle Hampton Ph.D.: I don't know if I would call these trends, but the challenges I'm hearing and learning about from my students, who are already nurses, are:
Acute care settings are challenged with increased workload and understaffing. They are cross-training nurses from other departments to work in ICU or other places, for which they might not have the experience to meet the hospital's needs or organization. They're also using registry nurses.
Nurses in settings that provide non-urgent services might be laid off or working reduced hours, i.e., elective surgery centers.
I had signed up as an emergency worker with the State of California and, from time to time, receive emails that skilled nursing facilities need staff also.
Essentially, there's always work in nursing, but what varies is the setting, and new nurses will have to consider the level of risk they can accept and are prepared to handle.
Are there any particularly good places in the United States for Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory Registered Nurses to find work opportunities?
Sylvia Mayer: -Yes, they are still hiring new graduates. More nurses are needed! Though still employed, nurses may be unable to work a regular schedule due to family needs or illness, children at home doing online school, or personal health issues. All of this is also the frequent need for a pipeline of nurses entering the workforce.
-Residency or orientation programs are robust and needed now more than ever. Employers are not fast-tracking new nurses without the right orientation.
-Hospitals and other healthcare facilities are seeking ways to support exhausted or fatigued nurses and employees. Creative self-care strategies include flexible schedules, mental health support resources, cross-training nurses to float and relieve nurses in the high-stress area, giving career-ladder credit for swimming, and other new Covid-19 related requirements.

Nursing
What general advice would you give to a Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory Registered Nurse?
Alicia Cardona: For nurses beginning their careers, take every opportunity to learn everything you can. There is so much to do in nursing; you never know what you will find that you are good at or that you will enjoy. There are good days and bad days in nursing. Enjoy the good, and realize the bad is only temporary. Be flexible and take care of yourself. Nursing is demanding, so take care of yourself, so you do not burnout.
Will there be an enduring impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory Registered Nurses?
Cheryl McInerney: The healthcare system is facing unprecedented demands as the COVID-19 emergency continues. Medical assistants will be critical to ensuring that patients get the care they need during their visits to their healthcare providers.
