Cardiac nurses provide inpatients with support and monitoring to identify and manage cardiac symptoms and arrhythmias.

Intensive care: Nurses care for patients who need critical care, along with those requiring ventilation support or Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) around the clock. These ill patients require highly skilled nursing interventions. Intensive Care nurses have worked to reduce patient infections and improve patient mobility and comfort, supporting both the patient and their family members.
