What is an EP RN?

EP RNs, or Electrophysiology Registered Nurses, are specialized nurses who assist in diagnosing and treating patients with heart rhythm disorders. They work closely with cardiologists and electrophysiologists in electrophysiology labs, helping with procedures like cardiac ablations, pacemaker, and defibrillator implantations. EP RNs monitor patients before, during, and after procedures, provide education about heart rhythm management, and ensure patient safety and comfort throughout the process. Their role requires strong technical skills and knowledge of cardiac care.
