What is a vascular RN?

Vascular RNs are registered nurses who specialize in caring for patients with vascular (blood vessel-related) conditions, such as peripheral artery disease, deep vein thrombosis, or aneurysms. They work closely with vascular surgeons and other healthcare professionals to assist with procedures, monitor patient recovery, and provide education about vascular health. Their responsibilities may include wound care, administering medications, monitoring vital signs, and helping patients manage chronic vascular conditions. Vascular RNs often work in hospitals, outpatient clinics, or surgical centers.
