Cardiovascular pediatric intensive care unit nurses, also known as pediatric cardiac nurses, are registered nurses who specialize in caring for children with congenital and acquired heart defects or cardiac diseases. Pediatric patients can range from infants to young adults aged 18 or older, so CVPICU nurses administer appropriate nursing care based on the age, size, and developmental level of the patient to achieve optimal outcomes. CVPICU nurses play a critical role in the lives of children and their families with complex and challenging responsibilities that can make this career path intense yet rewarding.

CVPICU nurses may hold Basic Life Support (BLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) or Certification in Acute/Critical Care Nursing - Pediatric (CCRN-Pediatric), among others.
