Overview
Cardiac nurses provide nursing care for patients experiencing cardiovascular disease or other heart-related issues across a range of specialist cardiac settings, including interventional procedures.
Working closely with medical professionals, your specialised knowledge and skills will allow you to assess and manage patients with a variety of complex cardiovascular conditions, including the use of heart monitoring and cardiac devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators. You will also play a key role in educating your patients and their families on treatment plans following emergency or interventional procedures.
