Who you'd be caring for

Patients undergoing diagnostic and interventional cardiac procedures, including STEMI activation.

What the shift actually looks like

Scheduled diagnostic cases interrupted by STEMI activations that override everything. Radiation exposure, lead aprons and long standing periods are part of the job. Call is the defining feature.

What to ask before you accept

Call rotation and response time, structural heart or EP programs, and sheath management expectations.

We put those questions to the facility at intake so you get a straight answer before you commit, not after your first shift.

Why this role is in demand

Call is the deciding factor for most cath lab candidates. State the rotation up front or expect declines late in the process. For you, that is leverage — the narrower the skill set, the smaller the pool you are competing against and the better the assignments you get offered.

Travel, per diem or permanent?

Travel pays the most and moves you every 8–26 weeks. Local contract gets you contract rates without relocating. Per diem lets you pick up shifts around your own schedule. Permanent when you want to settle, build seniority and stop packing.

Working with us

We tell you the rate, the unit and the shift pattern before you commit, and we ask permission before every single submittal — you will never find out you were put forward somewhere after the fact. One recruiter handles you from the first call through to your last shift.

Placement is always free to you. Our fee is paid by the facility. Join the network and we will only call you when something genuinely fits.
