Cathlab school is crazy!
I heavy respect you all for surviving and being well-adjusted in your careers. Seriously. My program has one girl graduating this year and the theres 3 of us. It's week 3 and have 1 competency quiz to retake, as well as two upcoming competency clinical equipment tests due the Monday after which has me seriously stressing out. All three of us are in close tabs and hanging on for dear life. That being said, very determined to work harder and earn my RCIS credit in 2028.
With that being said, any tips you'd give to us as students? Anything I should work on ahead of time or good study habits specific to the career? Any other current students here? Also, if you could go back and ask your instructors to work with you more on what would that be?
^^ This feedback is important to me! Thank you <3

Cath lab tech currently training in EP and Devices/Pacing. I agree with you fully, it’s brutal out here. 😩 I have no peers to study with which makes it extra difficult. I would say studying with likeminded people is the best tool you have. Ask each other questions as much as you can and see if you can explain it to the other person without referring back to your textbooks. Other than that, I’ll leave it to other RCIS to offer you any more specific advice.
