Cardiology nurses, also called cardiac nurses or cardiovascular nurses, are registered nurses who specialize in preventing and treating conditions involving the heart. These specialists work in a variety of settings, caring for medical or surgical patients with a variety of heart problems. Depending on their focus, cardiology nurses may care for patients recovering from a heart attack, suffering from coronary artery disease, or recuperating from heart bypass or pacemaker surgery, among others. Historically, heart disease has been the leading cause of death in the United States, so cardiology nurses remain in high demand and often find their work challenging yet rewarding.

Cardiology nurses may hold Basic Life Support (BLS) or Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), among others.

Some healthcare employers may prefer cardiology nurse job candidates with Cardiac Vascular Nursing Certification (CV-BC), and some may even require specific professional certifications.

Having a Cardiac Vascular Nursing Certification (CV-BC) validates your knowledge and skills as a cardiology nurse and your dedication to continuing your education in your chosen field. All of which makes you a more desirable job candidate to healthcare employers.
