Cardiology Nursing - RN

Program Overview
 

The Cardiology Nursing - RN certificate program is designed for registered nurses (RNs) employed in and/or seeking to advance their practice in cardiovascular nursing. Students will learn cardiovascular nursing assessment and evidence-based nursing interventions, as well as how to develop collaborative and consultative partnerships with cardiovascular clients, their support systems and other health-care practitioners. Students will also develop high-level critical thinking, care planning, leadership and professional practice skills.

 

This certificate is based on the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) competencies for cardiovascular nurses and completion of the certificate academically prepares students for the Cardiovascular Certification Exam.

Please note that the courses in this certificate need to be taken in a specific order.  Check that you have obtained the necessary pre-requisite prior to registering for a course.  Learners without the necessary pre-requisites will be removed from courses and charged the administrative fee. 

 

For nurses enrolled in legacy or previous versions of the certificate/theory courses, the final date to submit a PLAR application for the clinical course (CORN 504, NEPH 505, 506, OBST 510) will be March 15, 2022. Please contact the program advisor to ensure eligibility prior to this date. After March 15, 2022, certificates for legacy programs will no longer be granted. The program advisor can provide information on how to upgrade your certificate to the latest curriculum.
