What is a CCU RN?

CCU RNs are registered nurses who work in the Coronary Care Unit (CCU), a specialized hospital ward for patients with severe cardiac conditions. These nurses are trained to monitor and care for patients with heart attacks, arrhythmias, heart failure, and other critical heart issues. They use specialized equipment, administer medications, and respond rapidly to cardiac emergencies. CCU RNs play a vital role in collaborating with cardiologists and the healthcare team to provide intensive, lifesaving care.
