Cardiac Registered Nurse Clinic

Job Summary and Responsibilities

As our Cardiac Nurse, you’ll care for patients who may have life-threatening cardiac events or conditions while helping their families navigate daily care and the long-term plan for healing and maintenance outside of the hospital.

That’s why you must be adaptable and detail-oriented, observing vitals and reporting the warning signs early to our multidisciplinary team of cardiologists, EKG techs, and other cardiovascular professionals. Your success in this role comes from your enthusiasm to go the extra mile for your patients and your strong assessment skills. To further support your nursing career, we offer continuing education opportunities to help you advance your clinical nursing skills.

• Perform and monitor cardiovascular diagnostic and stress testing, including EKG interpretation, IV therapy, and continuous assessment to ensure patient safety and identify abnormal findings.
• Assess, triage, and manage cardiac patients using clinical judgment, established protocols, and collaboration with providers to coordinate treatment, testing, and emergency interventions.
