Respiratory therapist to cathlab

To my fellow respiratory therapist who now work in cath lab,
Seems like all jobs want experince and/or a RCIS cert/ rad tech cert. unfortunately, I can’t get an RCIS cert without actually working in cathlab for +600 hours or just going back to school for it for +18 months. Some jobs I have matching education (I have a bachelors in cardio respiratory science) but I’m missing literally everything else. I’ve looked into the different pathways and I don’t see how I can do this without having connections into cathlab so I can try and get licensure 😅 how did you do it?
I currently live in WA and want a change.

Thanks everyone in advance
