Start Date: 1/19/2026 About the Position TravelNurseSource is
working with Magnet Medical to find a qualified EP Lab RN in
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, 73139! A Registered Nurse (RN) in
Electrophysiology (EP) provides specialized nursing care to
patients undergoing diagnostic and therapeutic procedures related
to heart rhythm disorders. EP nurses work in collaboration with
electrophysiologists and other healthcare professionals to assist
in the management of arrhythmias, conduct diagnostic tests such as
electrophysiology studies (EPS), and support patients through
procedures like catheter ablation, pacemaker or defibrillator
implantation, and other treatments. This role requires expert
knowledge of cardiac care, advanced electrophysiology techniques,
and the ability to work in high-stakes, fast-paced environments.
Key Responsibilities : Pre-Procedure Assessment and Preparation :
Conduct thorough pre-procedure assessments of patients, including
reviewing medical history, current medications, allergies, and
previous cardiac conditions. Educate patients and their families
about the electrophysiology procedure, including the purpose,
potential risks, and expected outcomes. Ensure patients are
appropriately prepared for the procedure, including obtaining
informed consent, performing vital sign checks, and ensuring lab
work is completed (e.g., EKG, blood work). Monitor patient status
prior to the procedure, including sedation levels, anxiety
management, and any comorbid conditions (e.g., hypertension,
diabetes). Assisting in Electrophysiology Procedures : Assist the
electrophysiologist during electrophysiology studies (EPS), which
involve mapping the electrical pathways of the heart. Set up and
monitor electrophysiology equipment, including the
electrophysiology lab’s electrical mapping system, fluoroscopy, and
other diagnostic tools. Assist with the insertion of catheters into
the heart via the femoral vein, internal jugular vein, or other
access points, ensuring patient safety and comfort. Monitor the
patient’s vital signs, oxygenation levels, and electrocardiogram
(ECG) during the procedure. Administer sedatives, analgesics, or
other medications as ordered, ensuring patient safety and managing
potential side effects or complications. Assist with catheter
ablation procedures to treat arrhythmias, including monitoring for
any adverse events during the procedure. Post-Procedure Care and
Monitoring : Monitor patients closely after an EP procedure,
including assessing vital signs, cardiac rhythms, and any signs of
complications (e.g., bleeding, infection, arrhythmia recurrence).
Provide care for patients recovering from sedation, ensuring they
are stable and alert before discharge. Educate patients on
post-procedure care, including wound care (for catheter insertion
sites), activity restrictions, medication management, and
recognizing signs of potential complications (e.g., infection,
bleeding). Coordinate with the healthcare team to ensure follow-up
appointments and ongoing care, such as pacemaker or defibrillator
programming or cardiac rehabilitation. Patient Education and
Emotional Support : Provide education to patients and families
regarding arrhythmias, pacemaker/defibrillator use, and lifestyle
changes needed to manage their heart condition. Address patients'
concerns and provide emotional support before, during, and after
the procedure, helping to alleviate anxiety and ensuring they are
fully informed. Educate patients about heart health, including the
role of medication, activity restrictions, and long-term care
following heart rhythm treatments. Collaboration with the
Healthcare Team : Work closely with electrophysiologists,
cardiologists, and other medical professionals to ensure that
patients receive optimal care during and after the procedure.
Communicate effectively with the healthcare team, providing updates
on patient status and any changes in condition during or after the
procedure. Collaborate in the development of individualized care
plans for patients with arrhythmias, ensuring appropriate
treatments are delivered. Participate in patient rounds to review
and update care plans as necessary. Infection Control and Safety :
Follow strict infection control protocols during procedures,
including sterile techniques when inserting catheters and
performing other invasive procedures. Monitor for and address any
signs of infection at catheter insertion sites or internal device
sites (e.g., pacemaker or defibrillator). Ensure patient safety by
monitoring for potential complications, such as bleeding or
arrhythmias, following procedures. Documentation and Record-Keeping
: Maintain accurate, up-to-date documentation of patient
assessments, procedures, medications administered, and outcomes.
Ensure patient records are in compliance with institutional and
regulatory standards, including HIPAA guidelines. Document any
post-procedure complications, patient responses to treatment, and
care instructions provided to patients. Emergency Response :
Respond to emergency situations, such as cardiac arrhythmias,
complications from the procedure (e.g., catheter-induced trauma),
or adverse reactions to medications or anesthesia. Be prepared to
initiate life-saving measures such as advanced cardiac life support
(ACLS) in the event of a cardiac arrest or other life-threatening
conditions. Collaborate with the healthcare team to stabilize
patients and provide appropriate interventions in emergency
situations. 5 Benefits of Travel Nursing Confront diverse medical
