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.

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.
