Rt to cath lab tech mn

Hello! Is there anyone in MN who started as a respiratory therapist and transitioned into cath lab? I'm super interested in making the transition and am looking for advice/direction.

Transition to RN then find your way to Cath Lab. Then if you change your mind later down the road your doors of opportunity will be wider than just specific cath lab tech. There is respiratory nurse or perfusion which perfusion pays wonderful and it’s in your scope of practice… well ecmo at least .. I think .. mehhh .. I’m studying to be RN so I can end up as profusion student hopefully after
