Advanced Cardiovascular Nurse – Cardiovascular Services (CNS)
Location: Mission Viejo, CA
Schedule: Full-Time, Day Shift

Virtus Healthcare Staffing is seeking a highly skilled and passionate Advanced Cardiovascular Nurse (Clinical Nurse Specialist) to lead and elevate cardiovascular care in collaboration with a dynamic multidisciplinary team in Mission Viejo, California. This is a unique opportunity for a clinical leader to influence patient outcomes, shape practice standards, and mentor nursing staff through evidence-based care delivery.

Role Overview

The Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) in Cardiovascular Services functions as a vital clinical expert across patient care, education, leadership, consultation, and research. This position is responsible for advancing cardiovascular nursing practice by mentoring staff, refining care pathways, and directly impacting quality, safety, and patient satisfaction metrics. The CNS works autonomously and collaboratively with physicians, nursing teams, and leadership to ensure excellence in cardiovascular care outcomes.

Position Summary
  • Act as a clinical authority in cardiovascular nursing care across acute and chronic cardiac patient populations

  • Drive best practices through coaching, education, and hands-on support for clinical nurses and interprofessional team members

  • Lead quality improvement initiatives, practice guideline implementation, and evidence-based interventions

  • Serve as a mentor and resource to support the ongoing development of unit competencies and certifications

  • Facilitate case reviews and interdisciplinary team rounds to ensure optimal patient-centered outcomes

  • Initiate and guide clinical research projects and process innovations related to cardiac care

  • Align practice with regulatory standards and national benchmarks for cardiovascular nursing excellence

Qualifications

Education:

  • Master's Degree in Nursing (Required)

Licensure & Certifications:

  • Current California Registered Nurse License (Required)

  • BLS Certification – American Heart Association (Required upon hire)

  • National Specialty Certification (Must be obtained within 3 years of hire)

Experience:

  • Minimum 3 years of clinical nursing experience in cardiovascular services or closely related specialization (Required)

Key Technical & Leadership Skills
  • In-depth clinical expertise in cardiac interventions, telemetry, heart failure, post-op cardiac surgery, and catheterization recovery

  • Experience in process improvement, staff development, and patient safety

  • Advanced knowledge of cardiovascular pharmacology, diagnostics, and therapies

  • Demonstrated success in multidisciplinary team leadership and collaborative patient management

  • Strong presentation, teaching, and consultative abilities for both formal and informal clinical education

Patient & Workflow Details
  • Focus Area: Cardiovascular Services (Inpatient and Outpatient Cardiology, ICU, Cardiac Telemetry, and Interventional Units)

  • Leadership Scope: Oversight of cardiac clinical standards, staff development, and quality improvement initiatives

  • Work Setting: Acute care hospital environment with integrated cardiac care pathways

Why This Role Stands Out

This position is ideal for a forward-thinking, experienced cardiovascular nurse looking to amplify their impact through advanced clinical leadership. The CNS will be an essential voice in shaping care strategy, enhancing nurse competencies, and ensuring outstanding patient outcomes across the continuum of cardiac care.

Apply today to join a mission-driven team where your voice, vision, and advanced clinical knowledge truly matter.
