Cardiovascular intensive care unit nurses are registered nurses who provide critical care to children and/or adults with potentially life-threatening heart conditions. As pivotal members of the emergency medical care team, CVICU nurses use their advanced nursing skills to stabilize gravely ill patients following heart surgeries, transplants, or injuries. CVICU nurses work in a hectic setting and must provide quick responses to the changing needs of their patients.

Some healthcare employers may prefer CVICU nurse job candidates with Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Certification in Acute/Critical Care Nursing (CCRN), TeleICU Acute/Critical Care Nursing (CCRN-E Adult) or Cardiac Surgery (CSC-Adult), and some may even require specific professional certifications.

Having a TeleICU Acute/Critical Care Nursing (CCRN-E Adult) validates your knowledge and skills as a CVICU 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.
