Coronary Care Nursing


Certificate of Completion


Program Code: CC12

Program Overview

The Coronary Care Nursing certificate program is designed for registered nurses (RNs) and registered practical nurses (RPNs) 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 program equips nurses with comprehensive knowledge and skills for interpreting and managing cardiac dysrhythmias and assessing pacemaker functioning. Building upon foundational understanding of heart anatomy, physiology and emergency procedures, the program covers topics such as Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) and heart failure. Students learn to analyze 12 Lead ECGs effectively to guide nursing care for ACS and related conditions. The curriculum also explores national guidelines for emergency management and cardiac interventions. Through independent study and group activities, students develop proficiency in applying theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios. Learners are also able to gain foundational/basic telemetry skills (CC1) along with 12-lead ECG analysis (CC2).
