Not an RT, but CVT here. I just finished 2 years of school (1 year of clinicals) specifically to learn cath lab stuff and I STILL feel overwhelmed. Don't get down on yourself, it takes a long time. Everybody I know says 1-2 years before you're comfortable.
If you haven't read or looked at it yet, I HIGHLY recommend this book by Kern. Easy to understand and good pictures.

This book is a great place to start. Your background will help you tremendously but be prepared to feel like you have no idea what is happening for a little while. There is a lot of equipment and supplies that are foreign to us ER transplants, but with a little time it all starts to make sense.

I like this book.
Know your cardiac meds (duh), anti-coags, vasoactives... pretty much the ones we use most.
