Advance your career in cardiac nursing 

Nurses are highly respected members of the community. They care for patients in a range of settings and touch lives with empathy, compassion and humour.

This specialisation is suited to nurses currently practising cardiac nursing who want to build their competencies for senior positions in the area. You’ll graduate prepared to expertly assess and manage adult patients with acute and chronic cardiac conditions.
