A CVS nurse in a hospital typically monitors cardiac patients, administers medications, assists with procedures like stress testing or cardiac catheterizations, and educates patients and families about heart health and post-discharge care. The role often involves interpreting telemetry strips, responding promptly to cardiac emergencies, and collaborating closely with cardiologists, surgeons, and other healthcare professionals. CVS nurses also play a key role in patient advocacy, making sure care plans address each patient's unique cardiovascular needs. This combination of technical duties and patient support makes the work both challenging and rewarding.
