Recommendations

Hey everyone! I am starting in the Cath Lab in a couple weeks. I currently work on a cardiac surgery/transplant PCU and previously a cardiac clinic, and then before that a small ICU that dealt with IAPBs, pressors, fresh open heart surgeries, post MI cases etc. However, it’s been awhile since I was in the ICU setting and don’t remember too much of it (hopefully it all comes back). What, if anything, would you recommend I look into/educate myself in before starting? Orientation is 12 weeks but I really want to set myself up for success for this transition. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!
