Angela Warman, BSN, RN
Angela Warman, BSN, RN, is a cardiac cath lab nurse and a former CVICU nurse. She wrote the Cardiac Nurse Playbooks, a set of pocket-sized clinical study guides for cardiac nurses covering the cath lab, hemodynamics, mechanical support, CVICU and CCRN preparation.
The guides are study aids, not clinical protocols. They do not replace your hospital's policies or a clinician's judgment.
