The Pearls for Cardiac Vascular Nursing Certification
Online Edition
CNE Credits: 13.5 Hours
Objectives
The incidence of cardiac and vascular disorders continues to increase despite much research and advances in the care of these patients. A complete understanding of all aspects of disease, assessment and appropriate treatment options is essential in caring for this growing population.
Becoming a certified Cardiac Vascular Nurse validates your competency in caring for patients with a wide variety of disorders. The process of certification can be a frightening experience for the most proficient of nurses. You are probably a “rock star” at the bedside but the thought of taking an exam (especially if you have been out of school for a while) can be daunting. Taking a review course will make you more confident and strengthen your chances of passing.
This comprehensive course will review the core knowledge you need to pass the exam. The complex content is broken down to enhance retention of knowledge and direct application at the bedside. It is presented in outline format with “bolding” of drugs, labs, assessments and important concepts for the exam. In addition, “Advanced Pearls” are presented throughout to elevate your knowledge further and improve the care you provide.
A review of the following is incorporated into this interactive seminar:
- Test taking strategies
- Professional, legal and ethical issues
- Effective communication techniques
- Risk factor identification
- Evidence-based treatment guidelines

Desired state (CNE): As a result of completing this course, the nurse will be able to apply advanced knowledge to successfully pass the Cardiac Vascular Nursing Certification exam. Nursing practice and care provided to patients will be enhanced as a result of the review of assessment, diagnostics, pathophysiology, pharmacology and clinical correlation
