Erin LaMaina, RN
Nurse Manager – Good Samaritan University Hospital
I started my career as a registered nurse in a cardiac designated hospital. For over 10 years I worked in Med/Surg and ICU caring for a variety of patients with underlying cardiac comorbidity before transitioning to the Cardiac Cath Lab. I received my Masters in Nursing Education and worked as the Nurse Educator in the Cardiology Department for the last 6 years. I have supported the growth of the department, providing program development and staff education to pre- intra- and post procedure staff for new procedures including TAVR, Cardiac CTA, TCAR, Mitraclip, PFO closure, Micra and Watchman. In addition, developing policies and procedures to insure clinical quality and patient safety. Most recently, I accepted the position as Nurse Manager of interventional cardiology and imaging and support the department with development of performance and quality improvement and patient safety initiatives.
