As a Stress Test Nurse, your typical day involves preparing patients for cardiac stress testing, monitoring their vital signs and EKGs during exercise or pharmacological tests, and documenting results for the cardiology team. You'll work closely with physicians, other nurses, and technicians to ensure patient safety and accurate test outcomes. The work environment is generally fast-paced and detail-oriented, as you must quickly respond to any cardiac events or complications during testing sessions. Additionally, you may spend time educating patients on procedures and collaborating on follow-up care plans based on test results.
