RN on a interventional cardiology floor of a big university hospital. See patients from cath lab, pacemaker placements/upgrades/revisions, ablations, repair congenital issues, heart failure management, pre open heart surgery (CABG, AVR/MVR etc) basically anything cardiac wise but most patients are there for cardiac catheterization/stents.

its really hard at first but then gets somewhat easier. Sometimes its slow and you have a lot of things tied up by midnight 1am, other nights when its busy and you get outside admission then cath lab patients or shit hits the fan with a patient(s). Have to be a master of time management and deal with the devil in the details. Must be able to slow down though and see some warning signs when somebody is just starting to go down the drain. Gotta keep your cool in stressful situations and with people.

Many times its more annoyances with patients, families, doctors, PA's.....lots of annoyances...
