Adult Cardiac Stepdown Track

The Adult Cardiac Stepdown track is geared toward new nurses who seek to specialize in adult cardiac nursing. The program is designed to nurture the new graduate nurse in the transition from student to professional nurse. It provides new nurses with the specific tools and experiences needed to begin a successful career in adult cardiac and cardiovascular care. After orientation to VUMC, you will experience a focused orientation in your unit and work with unit-based preceptors.
