Clinical Spotlight: The Cardiology Care Coordinator

In a specialized cardiology clinic, the RN is often the first line of defense for patients with chronic heart disease. Your expertise in Tilt Table Testing—used to evaluate the cause of unexplained fainting (syncope)—requires a keen understanding of the autonomic nervous system and rapid pharmacological intervention if needed.

Glenwood Springs offers an incredible lifestyle for those who love the mountains, from world-famous hot springs to extensive biking trails.
