Specializes in Cardiology

See below: First a degree in nursing as an rn. The only other requirement that i know of is to be certified in cpr, that is bcls and acls. (basic and andvanced cardiac life support) those two things have to be renewed every two years. Usually the hospital or clinic where you work would arrange for that training. The rest would ordinarily be learned on the job.
