Answer:
To become a cardiac nurse, you first need to become a registered nurse. To do this, you will need to get an associate's degree in nursing (ADN) or a bachelor of science in nursing (BSN). ADN programs take two years to complete, and BSN programs take around four years to complete. As a result, going through a BSN program will provide you with more advanced knowledge and skills. Once you earn your degree, you will have to take and pass the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). This exam is a mandatory requirement to start working as a registered nurse.
You will then need to get as much clinical experience in cardiac nursing as you can. Most cardiac nurses complete at least two years of clinical experience before applying for certification. In the U.S., the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN), the American Board of Cardiovascular Medicine (ABCM), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) offer certification for this nursing area.
