Aimed at registered nurses and registered practical nurses already working in, or moving into, cardiovascular or cardiac care, this part-time graduate certificate centres on the care of adult clients with acute cardiovascular problems. Coursework covers cardiovascular anatomy and physiology, arrhythmia interpretation, advanced cardiac monitoring, assessment skills, and client care spanning prevention, management and rehabilitation. Theory is delivered fully online, and students apply what they learn during a clinical placement in a cardiovascular nursing setting. The program is built around the Canadian Nurses Association's exam competencies for cardiovascular nursing.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This part-time Ontario College Graduate Certificate requires a current College of Nurses of Ontario Certificate of Registration as a Registered Nurse (RN) or Registered Practical Nurse (RPN); there is no separate academic-credential requirement beyond active RN/RPN registration. As an Ontario College Graduate Certificate, the program falls under Conestoga's higher, graduate-certificate-band English-language requirement, applied where an applicant's transcripts are not in English: IELTS Academic overall band 6.5 with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 88 with no skill below 22, PTE Academic 58, or CAEL 70 overall with no sub-test below 60. Canadian citizens and permanent residents whose transcripts are from outside Canada must first have them assessed by a credential-evaluation service such as ICAS or WES. All courses must be completed within four years of acceptance into the program, and applicants apply directly through Ontario Colleges (ontariocolleges.ca).
