Empowred Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) Hello Folks, I have been working in a " correctiional Facility" for over one and half years , the management changed and the manager (HSA) is very controlling and induces " fear" to control. Has fired many people as they are going through some budget shortage, I was her recent target , It was mentally getting so stressful, I quit last week. They were ok with it. It was getting hard for me looking for another job with the full time work I had . Currently had 3 interviews and one was as PA for an interventional cardiologist in an reputed hospital. My intial interview ( through zoom) went well , they will let me know by end of next week for the second interview. How difficult is the trasition from PA for a correctional facility to being a PA in cardiology?I also did a special rotation in cardiology during PA school as ultimately , I wanted to get in that speciality. I am hoping I will get the secong interview. Any of the PA's for interventional cardiology guide me ?? Would appreciate any other suggetions or guidance. I need to find a job soon as I am a single mom. Thank you. Edited September 20, 2020 by Empowred spelling mistakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empowred Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 Hello Ventana , I have been a PA for 2 hrs . I have been in corrections for 1 yr and 8 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike mike Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 As a cardiology PA I would say you have a fairly steep curve. Know AF, CAD ( everything from new PCI to elevated CCS), valvular disease - the difference between managing AS vs AI/MR. This is the tip of the iceberg - feel free to IM me for any specifics.
